This  Historical  Catalogue  was  prepared  under  the  auspices 
of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University.  The  work  has 
taken  much  longer  time  than  was  expected  at  its  beginning. 
The  loss  of  so  many  records  and  papers  of  the  University  by 
the  fire  of  1884,  has  prevented  more  of  detail  in  some  parts  of 
the  history.  Fortunately  one  large  volume  of  records  from 
1840  to  1859  was  not  in  the  Library  at  the  time  of  the  fire. 
No  doubt  many  errors  and  defects  will  be  noticed  in  the  work 
of  the  compiler.  It  is  a  very  difficult  if  not  impossible  work, 
where  so  much  research  has  to  be  made,  and  where  so  many 
persons  are  concerned,  to  avoid  mistakes  of  different  kinds. 
Many,  very  many,  letters  of  inquiry  have  been  sent  during  the 
progress  of  the  work,  to  most  of  which  replies  have  been  re- 
ceived. The  addresse's  of  some  of  the  graduates  have  not 
been  found,  and  from  a  few  whose  addresses  were  found,  no  re- 
ply could  be  obtained. 

The  compiler  would  take  this  occasion  to  acknowledge  his 
obligations  to  Col.  R.  S.  Robertson  and  Judge  D.  D.  Banta  for 
the  chapters  they  have  written,  and  for  suggestions  made.  In 
addition  to  these  he  lias  received  valuable  assistance  from  grad- 
uates and  students,  and  particularly  the  editors  of  the  Indiana 
Student. 

Through  some  accident  the  list  of  names  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees,  which  should  have  been  in  or  near  the  beginning  of 
the  work,  is  placed  at  the  end.

THE   INDIANA   UNIVERSITY   AS    FOSTERED 
AND  DEVELOPED  BY  LEGISLATION. 


BY    ROBERT    S.    ROBERTSON. 


The  history  of  legislation  upon  the  subject  of  education,  es- 
pecially in  its  higher  grades,  in  the  territory  now  comprising 
the  State  of  Indiana,  discloses  that  the  founders  of  the  new 
Republics  west  of  the  Alleghenies  were  deeply  impressed  with 
the  sense  of  the  advantages  to  he  derived  from  a  liberal  and 
thorough  system  of  education  by  the  States  which  were  des- 
tined to  "  increase  and  multiply"  towards  the  setting  sun,  and 
that  their  descendants  and  successors  have  fairly  carried  out 
their  plans,  and  have  built  well  upon  the  foundations  which 
were  laid  broad  and  deep  at  the  beginning  of  our  civic  exist- 
ence. In  the  preparation  of  this  sketch  it  has  been  thought 
best  to  give  the  language  of  the  constitutional  and  legislative 
enactments,  out  of  which  have  grown  the  structure  known  as 
the  Indiana  University,  especially  where  important  declara- 
tions or  changes  of  system  have  been  made,  rather  than  to  at- 
tempt to  give  the  substance  of  the  laws. 

The  legal  history  of  the  University  has  thus  been  traced 
through  the  laws  organizing  and  governing  the  northwest  ter- 
ritory, Indiana  territory,  and  the  State  of  Indiana,  exhibiting 
the  legislation  of  a  century  of  marvelous  progress  in  creating 
and  fostering  an  institution  which  is  justly  the  pride  and  boast 
of  the  State,  and  is  recognized  as  one  of  its  greatest  bulwarks. 

In  the  early  planting  of  the  educational  germ  in  America, 
and  its  development  through  trials  and  vicissitudes  to  its  pres- 
ent proportions,  we  owe  nearly  everything  we  have  received  to 
the  Puritan  of  New  England,  for  long  before  the  more  south- 
ern colonies  had  abandoned  the  ideas  nourished  by  an  aristo- 


6  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA   UNIVERSITY. 

cratic  monarchy  the  New  England  colonies  took  advanced 
ground  upon  the  question  of  free  schools,  and  in  1647  the 
Plymouth  colonists,  by  a  public  act,  declared  that,  "  the  Lord 
assisting  their  endeavors,"  they  would  provide  for  "  the  educa- 
tion of  the  people"  by  establishing  schools  to  teach  reading 
and  writing,  and  "grammar  schools  to  fit  youth  for  the  Uni- 
versity." 

In  contrast  with  this,  we  find  the  British  Governor  of  Vir- 
ginia in  1670  replying  to  queries  addressed  to  him  by  the  home 
government,  using  this  remarkable  language  :  "  I  thank  Go'd 
there  are  no  free  schools  or  printing,  for  learning  has  brought 
disobedience  and  heresy  and  sects  into  the  world,  and  printing 
has  divulged  them."  It  is  worthy  of  note  that  the  great  do- 
main ceded  by  Virginia  to  the  United  States  was  endowed 
with  the  great  boon  of  free  education  by  New  England  pio- 
neers, and  enjoyed  the  benefits  flowing  from  the  gift  nearly  a 
century  before  Virginia  herself  overcame  her  prejudices  and 
accepted  the  American  idea  of  education  for  all,  from  the 
highest  to  the  lowest  of  the  people. 

It  would  be  gratifying  if  it  dould  be  said  that  the  law-making 
power  of  the  United  States,  in  providing  so  liberally  as  it  has 
done  for  the  cause  of  education  in  the  Northwest  Territory, 
had  been  actuated  solely  by  a  desire  to  diffuse  the  benefits  of 
learning  and  knowledge  among  the  people.  .But  the  fact  is 
otherwise,  and  a  study  of  the  early  legislation  upon  this  sub- 
ject, and  of  its  causes  and  motives,  discloses  that  a  mercenary 
desire  on  the  part  of  the  Government  to  sell  its  lands,  and  on 
the  part  of  speculators  to  obtain  good  prices  for  the  vast  tracts 
they  were  negotiating  to  secure,  entered  largely  into  the  causes 
which  influenced,  and  finally  'brought  about,  the  beneficent 
grants  of  public  lands  which  became  the  foundation  of  our 
great  system  of  free  schools  and  free  education. 

Fortunately  for  the  future  of  the  great  Territory  which  was 
the  subject  of  negotiation  and  Congressional  discussion,  there 
were  found,  among  both  speculators  and  statesmen,  men  of 
broad  and  enlightened  Aaews  and  liberal  minds  who  exerted  a 
controlling  influence  in  shaping  the  legislation,  among  whom 
stood  prominently  Col.  Timothy  Pickering  and  Manasseh  Cut- 
ler, whose  wise  counsels  and  pertinacity  of  purpose  had  much 
to  do  with  bringing  about  the  final  enactments  which  provided 
so  liberally  for  establishing  and  maintaining  not  only  a  system 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


of  common  schools  for  primary  education,  but  the  grander  and 
far-reaching  university  system,  in  which  the  higher  grades  of 
learning  should  he  open  and  free  to  all. 

To  them,  and  the  noble  men  who  followed  the  pathway 
marked  out  by  them,  we  owe  a  debt  of  gratitude  which  has 
never  been  fully  paid. 


CONGRESSIONAL  LEGISLATION. 


THE  ORDINANCES  OF  1785  AND  1787. 

While  Congress  wras  hesitating  in  regard  to  the  disposition 
of  the  lands  ceded  by  the  States  to  the  General  Government, 
Rufus  Putnam  and  others  of  the  New  England  soldiers  formed 
the  idea  of  a  State,  to  be  located  between  Lake  Erie  and  the 
Ohio,  which  should  be  settled  by  the  army  veterans  and  their 
families. 

In  April,  1783,  Col.  Timothy  Pickering  outlined  a  plan  which 
Putnam  and  his  associates  submitted  to  Congress,  with  a  petition 
for  leave  to  found  the  colony.  After  providing  for  the  distribu- 
tion of  lands  to  the  soldiers  in  payment  of  their  services,  the  plan 
was  proposed  that  u  all  the  surplus  lands  should  be  the  property 
of  the  State,  and  disposed  of  for  the  public  good,  as  for  laying  out 
roads,  building  bridges,  erecting  public  buildings,  establishing 
whook  and  academies,  defraying  the  expenses  of  the  Govern- 
ment, and  other  public  uses."  In  a  letter  to  Washington  urg- 
ing him  to  assist  in  furthering  its  objects,  dated  June  16,  1783, 
Putnam  suggested  ;the  division  of  the  lands  into  townships  six 
miles  square,  with  reservations  for  schools  and  the  ministry. 

The  original  ordinance  presented  by  Jefferson  in  1784  for  the 
organization  of  the  Territory,  contained  no  provision  for  the 
school  reservations,  for  on  the  8th  of  March,  1785,  Col.  Pick- 
ering, writing  to  Rufus  King,  a  member  of  the  committee  which 
had  it  in  charge,  objected  to  it  because  there  was  "  no  provis- 
ion made  for  the  ministers  of  the  gospel,  nor  even  for  schools 
or  academies,"  and  said,  "the  latter,  at  least,  might  have  been 
brought  into  view."  On  the  12th  or  14th  of  April,  1785,  the 
committee  reported  a  new  ordinance,  in  which  the  following 


8  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

clause  was  inserted :  "  There  shall  be  reserved  the  central  sec- 
tion of  every  township  for  the  maintenance  of  public  schools, 
and  the  section  immediately  adjoining  for  the  support  of  re- 
ligion." 

Mr.  Gray  son,  a  member  of  the  committee,  in  a  letter  to 
Washington,  dated  April  15,  says:  "The  idea  of  a  township 
with  the  temptation  of  a  support  for  religion  and  education 
holds  forth  an  inducement  for  neighborhoods  of  the  same  re- 
ligious sentiments  to  confederate  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing 
and  settling  together.  On  the  23d  of  April  the  clause  relating 
to  religion  was  stricken  out,  and  on  the  20th  of  May  the  ordi- 
nance, with  many  amendments,  was  adopted.  The  clause  re- 
lating to  education  finally  stood  as  follows :  •"  There  shall  be 
reserved  from  sale  the  lot  No.  16  of  every  township  for  the 
maintenance  of  public  schools  within  the  said  township." 

It  will  be  seen  not  only  that  mercenary  motives,  the  offering 
of  inducements  to  purchase,  entered  largely  into  the  scheme, 
but  also  that  we  owe  the  great  endowment  of  western  schools, 
not  to  Jefferson,  as  has  been  claimed,  but  to  Col.  Pickering. 

This  ordinance  was  a  temporary  expedient,  and  did  not  meet 
the  expectation  or  demands  of  the  soldiers,  and  the  Ohio  Com- 
pany was  formed  in  1786,  which,  in  March,  1787,  elected  as 
directors,  Samuel  Holdeu  Parsons,  Manasseh  Cutler  and  Rufus 
Putnam,  who  in  May  presented  a  memorial  to  Congress,  which 
was  at  once  referred  to  a  special  committee.  This  committee 
in  two  days  reported  a  bill,  but  differing  materially  from  the 
plan  proposed  by  the  Ohio  Company. 

Two  days  later,  July  13, 1787, it  passed,  and  became  the  famous 
Ordinance  for  the  Government  of  the  Northwest  Territory. 
The  third  article  declared  that  "Religion,  morality  and  knowl- 
edge being  necessary  to  good  government  and  the  happiness  of 
mankind,  schools  and  the  means  of  education  shall  be  forever 
encouraged." 

During  this  time  the  proposals  of  the  Ohio  Company  to  pur- 
chase lands  were  being  considered  by  Congress,  and  finally  the 
committee  recommended  the  sale  on  the  terms  demanded  by 
the  company,  L  e.y  one  lot  in  each  township  for  common  schools, 
one  lot  for  the  support  of  the  ministry,  and  four  townships  for 
the  establishment  of  a  university. 

This  recommendation  Congress  thought  too  liberal,  and 
framed  an  ordinance  reserving  only  lot  ~No.  16  for  schools,  as 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  9 

provided  in  the  ordinance  of  1785.  This  did  not  suit  Dr.  Cut- 
ler, who  submitted  another  proposal  as  containing  the  only 
conditions  on  which  the  company  would  purchase.  Needing 
the  money  offered,  Congress  unwillingly  accepted  the  terms, 
and  on  the  23d  of  July  passed  the  ordinance,  providing  that 
lot  No.  16  be  given  perpetually  to  the  maintenance  of  schools, 
and  lot  29  to  the  purposes  of  religion,  and  two  townships  near 
the  center  for  the  support  of  a  literary  institution,  to  he  applied 
to  the  intended  object  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State.  Under 
this  was  the  Ohio  Company's  purchase  completed,  and  in  the 
same  year  John  Cleves  Symmes  purchased  a  large  tract  in  the 
Territory  with  similar  reservations  for  schools  and  the  minis- 
try, and  one  township  for  a  seminary  of  learning. 

Following  upon  this,  the  act  of  Congress  of  March  26,  1804 
(U.  S.  Statutes  at  Large,  2277),  entitled  "  an  act  making  provision 
for  the  disposal  of  the  public  lands  in  the  Indiana  Territory, 
and  for  other  purposes,"  established  three  land  districts,  viz : 
Detroit,  Kaskaskia  and  Vincennes. 

The  fifth  section  enacts  that  certain  lands  "  shall,  with  the 
exception  of  the  section  numbered  sixteen,  which  shall  be  re- 
served in  each  township  for  the  support  of  schools  within  the 
same  ;  also  of  an  entire  township  in  each  of  the  three  described 
tracts  of  country  or  districts,  to  be  located  by  the  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  for  the  use  of  a  seminary  of  learning,  *  *  be 
offered  for  sale,"  etc. 

On  the  10th  of  October,  1806,  Albert  Gallatin,  Secretary  of 
the  Treasury,  located  township  ~No.  2  south,  range  11  east,  now 
in  Gibson  County,  Indiana,  for  the  use  of  a  seminary  of  learn- 
ing, as  required  by  said  act. 

On  the  19th  of  April,  1816,  Congress,  by  the  act  to  provide 
for  the  admission  of  Indiana  as  a  State  of  the  Union,  provided 
"  that  one  entire  township,  which  shall  be  designated  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States,  in  addition  to  the  one  hereto- 
fore reserved  'for  that  purpose,  shall  be  reserved  for  the  use  of 
a  Seminary  of  learning,  and  vested  in  the  Legislature  of  said 
State,  to  be  appropriated  solely  to  the  use  of  such  Seminary 
by  the  said  Legislature.  (3  U.  S.  Statutes,  289.) 

When  the  Convention  met  at  Corydon  to  frame  a  Constitu- 
tion for  the  State  of  Indiana,  on  motion  of  Mr.  Johnson,  a 
committee  consisting  of  Jonathan  Lindley,  Benjamin  Parke, 
and  James  Koble  was  appointed  on  the  19th  day  of  June,  1816, 


10  HISTORY    OP   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

to  select  such  township  for  designation  by  the  President.  On 
the  same  day,  the  committee  addressed  a  note  to  the  Register 
and  Receiver  of  the  Land  Office  at  Yincennes,  both  of  whom 
were  present  at  the  Convention,  John  Badollet,  the  Register, 
being  a  member  and  serving  upon  the  Committee  on  Educa- 
tion, requesting  that  township  numbered  eight,  range  one  west, 
be  recommended  to  the  President  for  reservation.  On  the  fol- 
lowing day,  June  20,  the  Register  and  Receiver  complied  with 
this  request  of  the  committee,  and  the  location  thus  made  was 
approved  by  President  Madison  on  the  10th  day  of  July,  1816. 
The  county  in  which  the  location  was  made  was,  when  or- 
ganized, christened  with  the  name  of  President  Monroe,  and 
the  township  thus  chosen  was  christened  with  the  name  of 
Commodore  Perry. 

THE   NORTHWEST  TERRITOEY. 

The  first  law-making  power  of  the  Northwest  Territory  cre- 
ated by  the  Ordinance  of  1787,  consisting  of  the  Governor  and 
Judges  appointed  by  the  President,  seems  to  have  enacted  no 
laws  upon  the  subject  of  free  education,  but  when  the  people 
became  entitled  to  representation  in  the  Territorial  Legislature 
we  find  them  hastening  to  carry  out  the  declaration  of  the 
Ordinance  in  regard  to  encouraging  good  government  and  the 
happiness  of  mankind  by  establishing  and  fostering  a  system 
of  education,  in  which  the  higher  branches  of  learning  were  to 
form  a  conspicuous  part. 

The  first  enactment  to  this  end  was  passed  during  the  first 
session  of  the  first  Territorial  Legislature  of  the  Northwest 
Territory.  It  was  entitled,  "An  act  establishing  an  university 
in  the  town  of  Athens,"  and  was  approved  January  9,  1802. 
(Laws  N.  W.  Ter.  1802,  p.  161.)  Its  preamble  recites: 
"  Whereas,  institutions  for  the  liberal  education  of  youth  are 
essential  to  the  progress  of  arts  and  sciences,  important  to 
morality,  virtue  and  religion,  friendly  to  the  peace,  order  and 
prosperity  of  society,  and  honorable  to  the  Government  that 
encourages  and  patronizes  them ;  and,  whereas,  the  Congress 
of  the  United  States  did  make  a  grant  of  two  townships  of  land 
within  the  purchase  made  by  the  Ohio  Company  of  Associates, 
for  the  encouragement  and  support  of  an  university  therein ; 
and,  whereas,  the  interference  of  the  Legislature  is  rendered

necessary  to  point  out  and  direct  the  mode  in  which  the  same 
shall  be  brought  into  operation,  that  the  benefit  of  the  grant 
may  be  applied  to  the  purposes  designed,  therefore,"  etc.  It 
was  to  be  known  by  the  name  and  style  of  the  "American 
Western  University  for  the  instruction  of  youth  in  all  the  vari- 
ous branches  of  the  liberal  arts  and  sciences,  for  the  promotion 
of  good  education,  virtue,  religion  and  morality,  and  for  con- 
ferring all  the  degrees  and  literary  honors  granted  in  similar 
institutions."  Rufus  Putnam,  Joseph  Gilman,  Return  Jonathan 
Meigs,  Jr.,  Rev.  Daniel  Story,  Griffin  Greene,  Robert  Oliver, 
Ebenezer  Sproat,  Dudley  Woodbridge  and  Isaac  Pierce,  with 
the  President  of  the  University  for  the  time  being,  were  created 
a  body  politic,  with  succession,  as  the  President  and  Trustees 
of  the  American  Western  University. 


INDIANA  TEREITOEY. 

When  Ohio  became  a  State,  and  Indiana  Territory  was  cre- 
ated, the  same  liberal  policy  was  followed,  and  "  An  act  to  in- 
corporate an  university  in  the  Indiana  Territory"  was  passed, 
and  approved  by  the  Governor,  William  Henry  Harrison,  No- 
vember 9,  1806.  (Laws  1806,  p.  6;  revision  1807,  p.  407.) 

The  preamble  is  as  follows :  "  Whereas,  The  independence, 
happiness  and  energy  of  every  republic  depends  (under  the  in- 
fluence of  the  destinies  of  Heaven),  upon  the  wisdom,  virtue, 
talents  and  energy  of  its  citizens  and  rulers ;  and  whereas, 
science,  literature  and  the  liberal  arts  contribute  in  an  eminent 
degree  to  improve  those  qualities  and  acquirements;  and 
whereas,  learning  has  ever  been  found  the  ablest  advocate  of 
genuine  liberty,  the  best  supporter  of  national  religion,  and  the 
source  of  the  only  imperishable  glory  which  nations  can  acquire ; 
and  forasmuch,  as  literature  and  philosophy  furnish  the  most 
useful  and  pleasing  occupations,  improving  and  varying  the. 
enjoyments  of  prosperity,  affording  relief  under  the  pressure 
of  misfortune  and  hope  and  consolation  in  the  hour  of  death ; 
and  considering  that,  in  a  commonwealth  where  the  humblest 
citizen  may  be  elected  to  the  highest  public  offices,  and  where 
the  Heaven-born  prerogative  of  the  right  to  elect  and  reject  is 
retained  and  secured  to  the  citizens,  the  knowledge  which  is  re-' 
quisite  for  a  magistrate  and  elector,  should  be  widely  diffused ;

"SECTION!.  Be  it  therefore  emicteil  />//  the  Le(/i  dative  Council 
and  House  of  Representatives,  That  an  University  be  and  is 
hereby  instituted  and  incorporated  within  this  Territory,  to  be 
called  and  known  by  the  name  or  style  of  '  The  Yincennes 
University;'  that  William  Henry  Harrison,  John  Gibson, 
Thomas  T.  Davis,  Henry  Yanderburgh,  Waller  Taylor,  Benja- 
min Parke,  Peter  Jones,  James  Johnson,  John  Badollet,  John 
Rice  Jones,  George  Wallace,  William  Bullitt,  Elias  McNamee, 
Henry  Hurst,  Genera]  W.  Johnston,  Francis  Yigo,  Jacob  Kuy- 
kendoll,  Samuel  McKee,  Nathanial  Ewing,  George  Leach,. Luke 
Decker,  Samuel  Gwathmey,  and  John  Johnson,  are  hereby  de- 
clared to  be  Trustees  of  the  said  University,"  with  power  to 
elect  to  fill  vacancies,  and  to  make  by-laws,  ordinances  and  reg- 
ulations for  its  government  not  inconsistent  with  the  charter 
or  laws  of  the  Territory,  or  of  the  United  States. 

By  the  terms  of  Section  6,  the  Trustees  were,  "  as  speedily 
as  may  be,"  to  establish  an  University  within  the  borough  of 
Yincennes,  and  to  appoint,  to  preside  over  and  govern  it,  a 
President,  and  not  exceeding  four  professors,  "  for  the  instruc- 
tion of  youth  in  the  Latin,  French  and  English  languages, 
Mathematics,  Natural  Philosophy,  Logic,  Rhetoric,  and  the 
Law  of  Nature  and  of  Nations."  The  Faculty  was  empowered 
to  grant,  with  the  consent  of  the  Trustees,  degrees  in  the  lib- 
eral arts  and  sciences  to  such  students  of  the  University  who, 
by  their  proficiency  in  learning,  should  be  considered  entitled 
to  them,  and  to  grant  diplomas  to  authenticate  and  perpetuate 
the  memory  of  graduations. 

It  was  made  the  duty  of  the  Trustees  to  establish  a  library, 
and  from  time  to  time  elect  a  Professor  of  Divinity,  of  Law, 
and  of  Physic,  whenever  they  might  deem  it  necessary  for  the 
good  of  thje  institution,  but  no  particular  tenets  of  religion 
were  to  be  taught.  Then  follows  : 

"And  whereas,  The  establishment  of  an  institution  of  this 
kind  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  aborigines  of  this  country 
may  tend  to  the  gradual  civilization  of  the  rising  generation, 
and  if  properly  conducted  be  of  essential  service  to  themselves, 
vand  contribute  greatly  to  the  cause  of  humanity  and  brotherly 
love,  which  all  men  ought  to  bear  to  each  other  of  whatever 
color,  and  tend  also  to  preserve  that  friendship  and  harmony 
which  ought  to  exist  between  the  Government  and  the  In- 
dians," the  Trustees  w^ere  enjoined  "  to  use  their  utmost  en- 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  13 

deavors  to  induce  the  said  aborigines  to  send  their  children  to 
said  University  for  education,  who,  when  sent,  shall  he  main- 
tained, clothed  and  educated  at  the  expense  of  said  institution." 

It  was  further  provided,  that  when  the  funds  would  permit, 
all  students  were  to  be  educated  gratis  in  all  or  any  of  the 
branches  of  education  they  might  require. 

Curious  as  it  may  seem  at  this  day,  the  funds  for  the  support 
of  the  institution,  for  procuring  a  library  and  philosophical 
and  experimental  apparatus,  were  to  be  raised  by  a  lottery,  "  to 
be  conducted  by  live  discreet  persons,"  to  he  chosen  by  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  The  sum  authorized  to  he  raised  by  this 
means  was  not  to  exceed  twenty  thousand  dollars. 

This  University,  at  Vincennes,  was  destined  in  later  days  to 
come  in  conflict  with  the  Indiana  University  in  such  a  manner 
as  to  seriously  threaten  its  stability,  hut  fortunately  the  danger 
was  averted. 

THE  STATE  OF  INDIANA. 

The  Constitution  adopted  at  Corydon,  June  91,  1816,  upon 
which  the  territory  became  a  State  of  the  Union,  declared  with 
no  uncertain  sound  in  favor  of  advanced  education,  as  well  as 
common  schools.  Sections  1  and  2  of  Article  9  read  as  follows 
(Rev.  Laws  1824,  p.  48) : 

"SECTION  1.  Knowledge  and  learning,  generally  diffused 
through  a  community,  being  essential  to  the  preservation  of  a 
free  government,  and  spreading  the  opportunities  and  advan- 
tages of  education  through  the  various  parts  of  the  country 
being  highly  conducive  to  this  end,  it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the 
Greneral  Assembly  to  provide,  by  law,  for  the  improvement  of 
such  lands  as  are,  or  hereafter  may  be,  granted  by  the  United 
States  to  this  State  for  the  use  of  schools,  and  to  apply  any 
funds  which  may  be  raised  from  such  lands,  or  from  any  other 
quarter,  to  the  accomplishment  of  the  grand  object  for  which 
they  are,  or  may  be  intended,  but  no  lands  granted  for  the  use 
of  schools  or  seminaries  of  learning  shall  be  sold  by  authority 
of  this  State  prior  to  the  year  eighteen  hundred  and  twenty, 
and  the  moneys  which  may  be  raised  out  of  the  sale  of  any 
such  lands,  or  otherwise  obtained  for  the  purposes  aforesaid, 
shall  be  and  remain  a  fund  for  the  exclusive  purpose  of  pro- 
moting the  interest  of  literature  and  the  sciences,  and  for  the 


14  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


support  of  seminaries  and  public  schools.  The  General  As- 
sembly shall,  from  time  to  time,  pass  such  laws  as  shall  be  cal- 
culated to  encourage  intellectual,  scientifical  and  agricultural 
improvement  by  allowing  rewards  and  immunities  for  the  pro- 
motion and  improvement  of  arts,  sciences,  commerce,  manu- 
factures and  natural  history,  and  to  countenance  and  encour- 
age the  principles  of  humanity,  industry  and  morality. 

"  SEC.  2.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  General  Assembly,  as 
soon  as  circumstances  will  permit,  to  provide  by  law  for  a  gen- 
eral system  of  education,  ascending  in  a  regular  gradation  from 
township  schools  to  a  State  university,  wherein'  tuition  shall  be 
gratis,  and  equally  open  to  all." 

This  was  the  voice  of  a  people  environed  by  all  the  dangers, 
and  inured  to  all  the  toil  and  vicissitudes  of  a  life  in  the  wil- 
derness, just  emerging  from  the  territorial  form  of  government 
to  enter  the  sisterhood  of  great,  co-equal  States  in  the  Union, 
and  who  knew  by  hard  experience  the  necessity  of  education 
to  the  welfare  of  the  State  ;  and  it  contrasts  favorably  with 
the  declaration  of  the  Constitutional  Convention  of  1851.  (Rev. 
Laws  1852,  1,  p.  62),  which  is  as  follows:  "Art.  8,  sec.  1. 
Knowledge  and  learning,  generally  diffused  throughout  a  com- 
munity, being  essential  to  the  preservation  of  a  free  govern- 
ment, it  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  General  Assembly  to  encourage, 
by  all  suitable  means,  moral,  intellectual,  scientific  and  agricul- 
tural improvement,  and  to  provide  by  law  for  a  general  and 
uniform  system  of  common  schools,  wherein  tuition  shall  be 
without  charge,  and  equally  open  to  all." 

The  committee  appointed  by  the  Constitutional  Convention 
of  1816,  on  the  subject  of  "Education,  and  the  universal  diffu- 
sion of  useful  knowledge,"  to  which  we  owe  so  much,  deserves 
to  have  their  names  recorded.  It  was  composed  of  John  Scott 
of  Clark,  John  Badollet  and  William  Polke  of  Knox,  Dann 
Lynn  of  Posey,  and  John  Boone  of  Harrison. 

THE    STATE    SEMINARY. 

As  soon  as  the  four  years  prescribed  by  the  Constitution  ol 
1816  had  expired,  the  Legislature  of  the  young  State  made 
haste  to  comply  with  its  requirements,  and  a  u  State  Seminary  " 
was  founded,  .which,  through  the  "  Indiana  College,"  ultimately 
became  the  "  Indiana  University." 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  15 

An  "  act  to  establish  a*  State  Seminary,  and  for  other  pur- 
poses," was  passed  and  approved  January  20,  1820.  (Laws 
1820,  p.  82).  This  was  the  beginning  of  the  State  University, 
so  that  its  history  dates  from  this  period.  By  the  terms  of  this 
act,  Charles  Dewey,  Jonathan  Lindley,  David  H.  Maxwell,  John 
M.  Jenkins,  Jonathan  Mchols  and  William  Lowe  were  consti- 
tuted the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  State  Seminary,  as  a  body 
corporate  and  politic.  They  were  to  meet  at  Bloomington,  in 
the  county  of  Monroe,  on  the  first  Monday  of  June  following, 
or  as  soon  thereafter  as  convenient,  and  after  taking  the  oath 
of  office,  were  to  repair  to  the  township  of  land  granted  by 
Congress  to  the  State  for  the  use  of  a  seminary  of  learning,  and 
to  select  an  eligible  and  convenient  site  for  the  State  Seminary. 
They  were  empowered  to  appoint  an  agent  to  lay  off  lots  and 
sell  them,  not  exceeding  one  section,  or  640  acres  in  quantity. 
As  soon  as  the  Trustees  deemed  it  expedient,  they  were  to  erect 
a  suitable  building  for  the  seminary,  and  a  suitable  and  com- 
modious house  for  the  professor,  on  the  site  they  might  select, 
and  within  ten  days  after  the  meeting  of  the  next  General  As- 
sembly were  to  lay  before  it  a  true  and  perfect  statement  of 
their  proceedings,  with  a  plat  of  the  lots  and  lands  laid  off  and 
sold,  the  proceeds  of  the  sales,  and  a  plan  of  the  buildings 
erected  or  proposed  to  be  erected. 

Before  entering  upon  their  duties,  the  Trustees  and  their 
agent  were  required  to  give  bond,  with  security,  for  the  per- 
formance of  their  duties,  and  to  the  Governor  was  given  the 
right  to  fill  all  vacancies  occurring  in  the  Board. 

This  act  did  not  mention  the  Gibson  County  lands,  but  on 
the  22d  day  of  January,  1820,  a  joint  resolution  was  adopted 
by  the  Legislature,  appointing  Jesse  Emerson  a  superintendent 
to  rent  said  lands,  and  account  to  the  State  for  the  proceeds. 

The  next  Legislature,  by  an  act  approved  January  9,  1821, 
authorized  the  Trustees  of  the  Seminary  to  loan  any  moneys 
in  their  possession  belonging  to  the  Seminary,  on  mortgage 
security. 

At  the  same  session,  on  the  9th  day  of  January,  a  "joint 
resolution"  was  passed  (Laws  1821,  p.  139),  as  follows : 

"  WHEREAS,  The  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Indiana 
are  deeply  impressed  with  the  importance  of  knowledge  and 
learning  being  diffused  through  the  rising  generation  of  the 
State  of  Indiana;  therefore, 


16  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


"Be  it  enacted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Indiana, 
That  John  Badollet  and  David  Hart,  of  Knox  County,  William 
"W.  Martin,  of  Washington  County,  James  Welsh  of  Switzer- 
land County,  and  Daniel  I.  Carswell,  of  Franklin  County, 
Thomas  C.  Searle,  of  Jefferson  County,  and  John  Todd,  of 
Clark  County,  he  and  they  hereby  are  appointed  a  committee 
to  draft  and  report  to  the  next  General  Assembly  of  this  State 
a  bill  providing  for  a  general  system  of  education,  ascending 
in  a  regular  gradation  from  township  schools  to  a  State  Uni- 
versity, where  tuition  shall  be  gratis  and  equally  open  to  all, 
and  particularly  to  guard  against  any  distinction  existing  in  ' 
any  of  said  institutions  betwean  the  rich  and  the  poor. 

"Resolved,  That  the  said  committee  shall  receive  such  com- 
pensation for  their  said  services  herein  as  shall  be  allowed  by 
the  next  General  Assembly. 

"Resolved,,  That  the  Governor  is  hereby  requested  to  notify 
the  gentlemen  appointed  by  the  above  resolution  of  their  ap- 
pointment, and  he  is  also  hereby  requested  to  give  the  com- 
mittee any  information  on  the  above  subject  in  his  possession." 

The  labors  of  the  committee  thus  appointed,  after  having 
passed  under  the  revision  of  Judge  Parke  and  the  General 
Assembly,  were  incorporated  in  the  lirst  general  school  law  of 
the  State,  which  appears  in  the  Revised  Statutes  of  1824,  page 
379,  under  the  title  of  "An  Act  Incorporating  Congressional 
Townships,  and  Providing  for  Public  Schools  therein." 

As  this  act  failed  to  carry  out  that  part  of  the  resolution  re- 
quiring that  the  bill  should  provide  for  "  a  general  system  of 
education  ascending  in  a  regular  gradation  from  township  schools 
to  a  State  University"  it  has  no  place  in  this  sketch. 

On  the  22d  of  January,  1822,  an  act  was  passed  providing  for 
the  sale  of  the  Seminary  township  in  Gibson  County,  and  re- 
quiring the  money  to  be  paid  into  the  State  Treasury,  "  that  it 
may  be  made  a  productive  fund  for  the  benefit  of  the  State  Sem- 
inary."  The  seventh  section  of  this  act  recites  the  fact  that 
the  Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University  had  sold  portions  of 
such  lands  and  had  negligently  permitted  the  corporation  to 
die  without  having  executed  deeds  to  certain  purchasers,  and 
the  Commissioners  appointed  were  authorized  to  hear  the 
claims  and  decide  as  seemed  to  them  just  and  right,  and  to  ex- 
ecute deeds  to  such  purchasers. 


HISTORY    OF'  INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  17 

By  the  act  approved  February  10,  1825  (Laws  1825,  p.  97),  it 
appears  that  John  W.  Lee  was  the  agent  for  the  Monroe  County 
lands  (doubtless  appointed  by  the  Board  of  Trustees),  and  he 
was  required  to  rent  all  improved  lots  by  letting  them  to  the 
highest  bidder  at  a  "public  vendue,''  to  be  held  on  the  first 
Monday  of  March,  biennially,  the  successful  bidder  to  give 
bond  with  security  for  the  payment  of  his  rent  on  or  before 
the  first  of  December  of  each  year,  to  keep  the  premises  in 
good  repair,  and  to  prevent  unnecessary  waste ;  and  the  rent 
was  to  be  not  less  than  62J  cents  an  acre. 

The  Trustees  were  authorized  to  receive  all  moneys  arising 
in  any  way  from  the  Seminary  lauds  and  from  the  State  inter- 
est on  all  the  Seminary  funds  in  the  treasury. 

The  next  Legislature,  by  an  act  approved  January  21,  1826 
(Laws  1826,  p.  82),  appointed  Daniel  Rawliugs,  Edward  Bow- 
land,  and  William  Marshall  additional  trustees  for  the  State 
Seminary  in  Monroe  County,  upon  their  qualifying,  to  con- 
tinue in  office  for  one  year  and  until  others  were  appointed  and 
qualified  according  to  law. 

By  an  act  approved  January  25,  1827  (Laws  1827,  p.  93), 
James  Smith  of  Gibson,  and  James  Borland  of  Monroe  County, 
were  appointed  Commissioners,  with  power  to  sell  the  reserved 
Seminary  lands  in  those  townships;  but  three  sections,  one  on 
the  east,  one  on  the  south,  and  one  on  the  west  most  contigu- 
ous to  the  suction  on  which  the  Seminary  buildings  were  situ- 
ated, were  reserved  from  the  sale. 

The  Treasurer  of  State  was  required  to  keep  an  account  cur- 
rent with  the  State  Seminary  of  the  moneyed  transactions 
under  this  act,  and  to  pay  quarter  yearly  to  the  Trustees  any 
interest  that  may  have  accrued. 

ruder  these  acts  about  17,000  acres  of  the  Gibson  County 
lands  were  sold,  and  the  proceeds  paid  into  the  State  Treasury, 
to  he  accredited  to  the  Seminary,  College  and  rniversity  Funds, 
and  out  of  this  grew  the  subsequent  important  litigation  be- 
tween the  State  and  the  Trustees  of  the  Vineennes  University, 
hereafter  to  be  noticed. 

The  same  Legislature  passed  k4  an  act  appointing  a  Board  of 
Visitors  to  the  State  Seminary,  at  Bloomington,  and  for  ad- 
vancing the  interests  of  said  institution."  The'  act  approved 
January  26,  1827  (Laws  1827,  p.  99),  is  as  follows  : 


18  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.

whenever  any  five  of  the  above-named  visitors  shall  convene 
in  pursuance  of  this  act,  they  shall  appoint  from  their  number

planation of  the  past  proceedings  of  such  Trustees  as  may  be 
called  for,  or  which  the  said  Trustees  may  deem  necessary  or 
proper.  It  shall  further  be  the  duty  of  said  Trustees,  at  the

THE    INDIANA    COLLEGK. 

By  the  act  approved  .January  24,  1828  (Laws  1828,  p.  115), 
a  college  was  established  at  Bloomington,  under  the  name  and 
style  of  u  The  Indiana  College,"  for  the  education  of  youth  in 
the  "American,  learned  and  foreign  languages,  the  useful  arts, 
sciences  and  literature.'' 

A  Board  of  Trustees  consisting  of  fifteen  persons,  residents 
of  the  State,  was, appointed,  consisting  of  Edward  Borland,

the  county  of  Monroe;  George  H.  Dunn,  of  Dearborn  ;  Chris- 
topher Harrison,  of  Washington  ;  Setli  M.  Leaven  worth,  of 
Crawford;  John  Law,  of  Ivnox  ;  Williamson  Dunn,  of  Mont- 
gomery; Ovid  Butler,  of  Shelby,  and  Bethuel  F.  Morris,  of 
Marion.  They  were  empowered  to  till  vacancies  in  their  own 
body,  and  after  the  first  meeting,  on  the  first  Monday  of  Mav, 
1828,  were  to  determine  the  time  of  their  future  meetings  and 
make  all  regulations  for  the  government  of  the  College  and 
their  own  body  as  they  deemed  expedient,  and  to  choose  the 
officers  and  faculty.  They  also  had  the  right  to  remove  anv 
officers  of  the  corporation  or  College  at  discretion,  and  could 
remove  members  of  their  own  Board  for  misconduct,  breach  of 
the  by-laws  or  gross  immorality.  No  President,  professor  or 
officer  of  the  College  could  be  a  Trustee.  No  instructor  could 
be  required  to  profess  any  particular  religious  opinions,  and  no 
student  was  to  be  denied  admission,  or  refused  any  privileges, 
honors  or  degrees,  on  account  of  religious  opinions,  and  no 
sectarian  principles  were  to  be  taught  or  inculcated. 

All  the  moneys  arising  from  the  sale  of  the  Seminary  town- 
ships in  Monroe  and  Gibson  counties  were  to  remain  forever 
as  a  permanent  fund  for  the  use  of  the  College,  and  all  the 
property  of  the  State  Seminary  was  vested  in  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  Indiana  College,  to  be  used  for  the  best  inter- 
ests and  prosperity  of  the  institution. 

Benjamin  Parke  of  Washington  County,  James  Scott  of 
Clark,  Jesse  L.  Holman  of  Dearborn,  Isaac  Blackford  of  Knox, 
and  George  Bush  of  Marion  were  appointed  a  Board  of  Vis- 
itors to  annually  visit  the  college,  examine  its  property,  real 
and  personal,  inspect  the  course  of  instruction  and  the  p^o- 
ceedings  and  by-laws  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  and  to  recom- 
mend such  alterations  as  they  might  deem  necessary  ;  to  inquire 
into  the  financial  condition  of  the  college,  and  report  the  result 
to  the  Governor,  who  was  to  lay  it  before  the  General  Assem- 
bly. This  Board  was  to  continue  until  the  Legislature  ap- 
pointed others  in  its  stead. 

By  a  joint  resolution,  approved  January  28, 1830,  Rev.  Robert 
Roberts  was  appointed  one  of  the  Board  of  Visitors  to  fill  a 
vacancy  occasioned  by  the  resignation  of  Hon.  Benjamin  'Parke  ; 
and  by  a  joint  resolution,  approved  February  2,  1833,  Allen 
Wiley  of  Switzerland  County,  and  Calvin  Ruter  of  Marion

were  appointed  Visitors  to  till  vacancies  caused  by  the  refusal 
of  Robert  R.  Roberts  and  James  Armstrong*  to  serve. 

The  act  establishing  Indiana  College  was  amended  by  an  act 
approved  February  1,  1834.  Cinder  its  provisions  each  county 
in  the  State  became  entitled  to  send  a  student,  whose  tuition 
was  to  be  gratis,  and  who  was  to  be  selected  by  the  Boards  do- 
ing county  business  in  the  respective  counties,  preference  being 
given  to  those  least  able  to  pay  for  tuition.  Each  student  so 
selected  was  to  have  free  tuition  for  two  years,  with  all  the 
privileges  of  those  who  paid  for  their  tuition,  and  at  the  end  of 
two  years  their  places  were  to  be  tilled  by  the  County  Board  in 
the  same  manner  as  the  first  were  selected. 

Between  the  time  of  establishing  the  Indiana  College  and  the 
year  1840,  a  number  of  special  acts  providing  for  the  sale  of 
lands,  and  the  loaning  and  other  disposition  of  the  funds  were' 
passed,  but   they   are   deemed  of  too  little  importance  in  the 
legal  history  of  the  college  to  be  worthy  of  insertion  here. 

THE    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

We  have  now  reached  a  point  of  import  to  the  institution, 
for  the  "Indiana  College"  was  converted  into  "The  Indiana 
University"  by  "an -act  to  establish  a  university  in  the  State 
of  Indiana,"  approved  February  15,  1838  (Local  Laws,  1838, 
p.  294),  and  a  new  era  in  its  history  was  entered  upon.  The 
act  is  as  follows  : 

"  SECTION  1.  Be  it  cmn-ted  Inj  the  G-eneral  Assembly  of  the  State 
of  Itt<li<uui<  That  there  shall  be,  and  hereby  is  created  and  es- 
tablished a  University  adjacent  to  the  town  of  Bloomington,  in 
the  county  of  Monroe,  for  the  education  of  youth  in  the 
American,  learned  and  foreign  languages,  the  useful  arts, 
sciences  (including  law  and  medicine)  and  literature,  to  be 
known  by  the  name  and  style  of  the  Indiana  University,  and 
to  be  governed  and  directed  as  hereinafter  directed. 

"  SEC.  2.  There  shall  be  a  Board  of  Trustees  appointed,  con- 
sisting of  twenty-one  persons,  residents  of  the  State,  who  shall 
be,  and  hereby  are  constituted  a  body  corporate  and  'politic  by 
the  name  of  kThe  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  University,'  and 
in  their  corporate  name  and  capacity  may  sue  and  be  sued, 
plead  and  be  impleaded  in  any  court  of  record,  and  by  that  name 
shall  have  perpetual  succession.

thereof,  shall  forever  cease  and  determine,  from  and  after  the 
organization  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  Univer- 
sity, named  in  this  act ;  and  all  the  funds,  estate,  property,  rights, 
demands,  privileges  and  immunities,  of  what  kind  or  nature 
soever,  belonging  or  in  any  wise  pertaining  to  said  Indiana 
College,  shall  be,  and  the  same  are  hereby,  invested  in  the 
Trustees  of  the  Indiana  University  appointed  by  this  act,  and 
their  successors  in  office,  for  the  uses  and  purposes  only  of  said 
University,  and  the  said  Trustees  and  their  successors  in  office 
shall  have,  hold,  possess,  and  exercise  all  the  powers  and  au- 
thority over  the  said  Institution  and  the  estate  and  concerns 
thereof  in  the  manner  hereinbefore  prescribed. 

"  SEC.  16.  That  the  Constitution  of  said  University,  herein 
and  hereby  declared  and  established,  shall  be  subject  to  be 
changed,  altered  or  amended  by  the  Legislature  of  the  State. 
All  laws  or  parts  of  laws  coming  within  the  purview  of  this 
act  are  hereby  repealed. 

"  This  act  to  take  effect  and  be  in  force  from  and  after  its  pas- 
sage." 

Apparently  the  operations  of  this  law  were  unsatisfactory, 
for  by  the  "  act  to  provide  for  the  better  regulation  of  the  In- 
diana University,"  approved  February  15,  1841  (Laws  1841,  p. 
110),  the  number  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  was  reduced  to  nine, 
a  majority  of  whom  was  to  form  a  quorum,  and  Miles  C.  Eg- 
gleston  of  Jefferson,  William  T.  S.  Cornet  of  Ripley,  Robert 
Dale  Owen  of  Posey,  Nathaniel  West  of  Marion,  John  Law  of 
Knox,  David  H.  Maxwell  of  Monroe,  Elisha  M.  Huntington  of 
Vigo,  Lot  Bloomfield  of  Wayne  and  James  Scott  of  Clark,  were 
named  as  such  Trustees.  They  were  empowered  to  fill  vacan- 
cies in  the  Board,  and  to  determine  the  times  of  holding  their 
semi-annual  meetings  after  the  first,  which  was  to  commence 
on  the  3d  Monday  of  July  in  that  year.  No  two  of  the  Trus- 
tees were  to  be  from  the  same  county. 

The  civil  courts  were  deprived  of  jurisdiction  to  punish  stu- 
dents for  trivial  breaches  of  the  peace  which  might  be  commit- 
ted within  the  college  campus,  and  the  students  were  exempted 
from  militia  duty  and  road  taxes. 

Any  Trustee  failing  to  attend  two  consecutive  regular  meet- 
ings, without  presenting  satisfactory  excuse  in  writing,  forfeited 
his  seat  as  a  member  of  the  Board,  and  the  compensation  of  the 


28  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERHIIY. 

Trustees  was  fixed  at  the  same  per  diem  and  mileage  as  that 
allowed  by  law  to  members  of  the  General  Assembly,  to  be 
paid  out  of  the  University  funds. 

By  an  act,  approved  January  17,  1842  (Laws  1842,  p.  143), 
each  county  of  the  State  was  authorized  to  send  to  the  Uni- 
versity one  additional  student  free  from  payment  of  tuition 
fees. 

A  "Joint  Resolution,"  approved  January  27,  1842  (Laws 
1842,  p.  174),  recites  that- 

"  WHEREAS,  It  is  made  the  duty  of  the  General  Assembly  of 
the  State  of  Indiana,  by  the  second  section  of  the  9th  article  of 
the  Constitution  of  the  aforesaid  State,  so  soon  as  circumstances 
will  permit,  to  provide  by  law  for  a  general  -system  of  educa- 
tion, ascending  in  a  regular  gradation  from  township  schools 
to  a  State  University,  wherein  tuition  shall  be  gratis  and  open 
to  all ;  therefore, 

"  Be  It  resolved  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Indiana, 
That  the  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  University  be,  and  hereby  are 
required,  at  the  next  regular  meeting  of  said  Board,  to  exam- 
ine into  the  resources  of  said  University,  and  make  full  and 
complete  report  of  the  same  to  the  next  Legislature,  together 
with  the  amount  of  salaries  paid  to  professors,  and  all  other 
expenses  of  said  institution ;  and  also  whether,  in  their  opin- 
ion, the  resources  of  said  University  are  sufficient  to  enable  the 
Legislature  to  pass  a  law  making  tuition  gratis,  in  compliance 
with  the  Constitution  of  the  State  above  referred  to." 

In  all  probability  the  report  made  in  compliance  with  this 
act  showed  that  it  was  impossible,  without  further  and  addi- 
tional resources,  for  the  Legislature  never  passed  any  law  to 
carry  out  that  provision  of  the  Constitution,  and  when  it  was 
finally  done,  it  was  by  the  act  of  the  Trustees,  and  not  of  the 
Legislature. 

In  1845  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University 
made  claim  to  the  title  in  the  Gibson  County  Seminary  lands, 
and  to  proceeds  of  the  sales  made  by  the  State,  which  had  been 
transferred  to  the  Indiana  University,  and  a  suit  was  brought 
to  test  the  question  of  title.  There  being  no  law  by  which  the 
State  could  be  sued,  this  suit  was  abandoned,  and  application 
made  to  the  Legislature  for  leave  to  test  the  question  by  a  ei  vil  ac- 
tion. In  response  to  this  demand, "  an  act  to  authorize  the  Trust- 
ees of  the  Yincennes  University  to  hring  suit  against  the  State 


HISTORY    OP    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  29 

of  Indiana,  and  for  other  purposes,"  was  passed,  and  approved 
January  17,  1846.  (Local  laws  1846,  p.  233.)  It  authorized 
the  filing  of  a  bill  in  chancery,  in  the  nature  of  an  action  of 
disseizin  in  the  Marion  Circuit  Court,  giving  that  Court  full 
jurisdiction  of  the  matter,  and  of  the  parties  to  the  suit. 

The  Governor,  upon  whom  process  was  required  to  be  served, 
was  required  to  employ  counsel  to  defend.  It  was  further  pro- 
vided that,  if  the  suit  was  determined  in  favor  of  the  Vincen- 
nes  University,  upon  its  Board  of  Trustees  relinquishing  to  the 
State  the  lands  sold,  the  State  should  set  apart  to  its  Board  of 
Trustees  the  fund  arising  from  the  sales,  and  the  bringing  of 
the  suit  was  to  be  deemed  an  election  by  said  Board  of  Trustees 
to  look  to  the  State  for  compensation  of  their  claim.  Nothing 
in  the  act  was  to  be  construed  to  prevent  the  State  from  con- 
testing the  corporate  existence  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Vincen- 
nes  University. 

The  action  was  brought,  and  resulted  in  a  decree  by  the 
Marion  Circuit  Court  in  favor  of  the  complainants,  and  re- 
quiring the  State  to  pay  to  them  the  sum  of  $30,099.66  as  the 
proceeds  of  the  sales  of  the  land. 

In  this  suit  Samuel  Judah  appeared  as  attorney  for  the 
claimants  and  ().  H.  Smith  and  G.  G.  Dunn  for  the  State  and 
the  interests  of  the  University. 

From  this  decree  the  State  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  State,  which  rendered  its  decision  at  the  November  term, 
1850,  reversing  the  decree  of  the  Court  below,  and  holding 
that  the  act  of  the  Territorial  Legislature  of  1 806,  granting  the 
lands  to  the  Vincennes  University  was  nugatory,  because  no 
such  power  was  vested  in  it  by  the  'act  of  Congress,  and  that 
they  were  not  then  in  existence  as  a  corporation,  having  allowed 
their  corporation  to  lapse  (Mate  v.  Trustees,  etc.,2Jnd.  Rep.,  293). 

The  Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University,  not  satisfied  with 
this  decision,  sued  out  a  writ  of  error  from  the  Supreme  Court 
of  the  United  States,  which,  at  the  December  term,  1852,  re- 
versed the  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  State,  holding 
that  when  the  Territorial  Legislature  of  1806  incorporated  a 
"  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University,"  the  grant 
of  a  township  in  the  Vincennes 'district  by  the  Congress  of 
1804,  and  which  was  located  by  the  Secretary  of  the  Treasury 
in  1806,  attached  to  this  Board,  although  for  the  two  preced- 
ing years  there  had  been  no  grantee  in^jjti  i I'm uiiw|] fid  holding

further,  that  if  the  Board  of  Trustees,  by  a  failure  to  elect 
when  vacancies  occurred,  or  through  any  other  means  became 
reduced  to  a  less  number  than  was  authorized  to  act  by  the 
charter,  the  corporation  was  not  thereby  dissolved,  but  its  fran- 
chises only  suspended  until  restored  by  legislative  action.  The 
Chief  Justice  Taney  and  Justices  Catron  and  Daniel  dissented 
from  majority  opinion  of  the  Court.  (The  Trustee*  v.  titate,  14 
How.,  U.  8.  Rep.,  265).  Mr.  Judah  and  Mr.  Dunham  appeared 
for  the  Trustees  in  this  proceeding  and  (.).  H.  Smith  for  the 
State.  As  a  sequel  to  this  litigation,  it  may  be  interesting  to 
note  that  the  Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University  afterwards 
brought  suit  against  Mr.  Judah  to  compel  him  to  hand  over  a 
large  amount  of  the  bonds  of  the  State  delivered  to  him  in 
payment  of  this  claim  under  the  act  approved  February  13, 
1855.  He  answered  that  they  had,  by  resolution  duly  entered 
upon  their  records,  contracted  to  pay  him  one-fourth  of  what 
they  should  recover  in  the  suit  for  their  services,  and  that  he 
had  retained  $  16,625,  that  being  one-fourth  of  the  sum  paid  by 
the  State  in  liquidation  of  the  claim.  The  Trustees  replied 
that  at  that  date  he  was  Secretary  of  the  Board  and  falsely  en- 
tered the  resolution  upon  their  record,  which  was  denied  by 
him.  The  judgment  of  the  Knox  County  Circuit  Court  was 
adverse  to  Mr.  Judah,  and  he  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court, 
which,  in  the  May  term,  1861,  on  errors  of  law  occurring  upon 
the  trial,  and  not  upon  the  merits,  reversed  the  judgment  and 
remanded  the  cause  for  trial.  (Judah  \.  Trustee**  etc.,  16  Ind.  56). 
Again  the  judgment  was  adverse  to  Mr.  Judah,  and  he  a  sec- 
ond time  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court,  which  again,  at  the 
November  term,  1864,  reversed  the  judgment  and  ordered  a  new 
trial.  (Judah  v.  Trustees,  etc.,  23  Ind.  273).  The  suit  ended  in 
the  retention  of  the  fees  by  the  attorney. 

Returning  to  the  Indiana  University,  we  find  an  act  approved 
January  27,  1847  (Laws  1847,  p.  42),  providing  that,  when  stu- 
dents appointed  from  counties  failed  to  attend  any  one  session 
after  their  appointment,  their  appointment  became  vacated,  and 
the  county  boards  were  authorized  to  appoint  others  in  their 
places. 

The  act  approved  June  17,  1852  (Rev.  1852,  vol.  1,  p.  504), 
enacted  that  "  the  institution  established  by  an  act  to  establish 
a  college  in  the  State  of  Indiana,  approved  January  28,  1828, 
is  hereby  recognized  as  the  University  of  the  State." 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  31 


It  provided  that  the  present  Trustees,  three  of  whom  should 
reside  in  the  county  of  Monroe,  and  their  successors,  should  be 
a  body  corporate,  with  similar  powers  to  those  granted  by  for- 
mer acts,  to  meet  annually  at  Bloomington,  at  least  three  days 
preceding  the  annual  commencement.  Five  were  to  constitute 
a  quorum,  and, 'in  case  of  an  emergency  declared  by  the  Fac- 
ulty, if  the  others  failed  to  attend  at  a  called  meeting,  the  res- 
ident Trustees  were  empowered  to  fill  vacancies  in  the  Board 
and  Faculty,  but  appointments  so  made  expired  at  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Board.  The  Governor,  Lieutenant  Governor, 
Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  Judges  of  the  Su- 
preme Court  and  Superintendent  of  Common  Schools  were 
constituted  a  Board  of  Visitors,  three  to  form  a  quorum,  and 
those  not  present  were  to  be  reported  by  the  Board  of  Trustees 
in  their  annual  report.  It  was  made  the  duty  of  one  of  the 
Faculty,  to  be  designated  by  a  majority  of  the  members  thereof, 
to  deliver  a  public  lecture  on  the  principles  and  organization 
of  the  University,  its  educational  facilities  (being  careful  not  to 
disparage  the  claims  of  other  institutions  of  learning  in  the 
State),  in  at  least  fifteen  different  counties,  after  due  notice; 
but  if  the  vacation  was  less  than  one  month,  then  in  three 
counties. 

The  lecturers  were  also  to  make  geological  examinations, 
and  collect  mineralogical  specimens  for  the  cabinet  by  volun- 
tary donations.  Notice  of  the  commencement  of  each  session 
was  to  be  published  in  a  newspaper  in  each  of  the  cities  of  In- 
dianapolis, Louisville  and  New  Orleans. 

A.  normal  department  for  instruction  in  the  theory  and  prac- 
tice of  teaching  of  such  young  persons,  male  and  female, 
residents  of  the  State,  was  authorized,  as  well  as  an  agricult- 
ural department.  In  other  respects  the  provisions  of  the  act 
in  reference  to  the  government  of  the  University  were  similar 
to  those  established  by  former  laws. 

An  act  supplemental  to  and  amendatory  of  the  second  sec- 
tion of  the  last  mentioned  act  was  approved  March  3,  1855 
(Laws  1855,  p.  201).  It  made  some  important  changes.  The 
Board  of  Trustees  were  to  be  eight  in  number,  no  two  of  whom 
were  to  be  residents  of  the  same  county,  excepting  Monroe, 
from  which  two  might  be  selected.  The  same  powers  were 
conferred  upon  them  as  upon  the  former  boards,  except  the 
right  to  fill  vacancies,  which  was  vested  in  the  State  Board  of 


32  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

Education.  Joseph  S.  Jenckes,  of  Yigo ;  Joel  B.  McFarland, 
of  Tippecanoe ;  George  Evans,  of  Henry ;  William  M.  French, 
of  Clark;  Ransom  W.  Aiken  and  Johnson  McCullough,  of 
Monroe ;  James  R.  M.  Bryant,  of  Warren,  and  John  I.  Morri- 
son, of  Marion,  were  named  as  such  Board,  three  of  whom 
were  to  serve  two  years,  two  for  three  years,  and  three  for  four 
years,  to  he  determined  by  lot  at  their  first  meeting,  which  was 
fixed  for  Monday,  April  2,  1855.  The  Trustees,  while  actually 
employed  in  the  service  of  the  University,  were  to  receive  the 
same  pay  as  members  of  the  General  Assembly,  and  all  their 
prior  contracts  for  rebuilding  the  main  edifice  were  legalized. 

An  act  approved  March   7,  1857  (Laws  1857,  p.  130),  pro- 
vided that  scolarships  founded  upon  subscriptions  of  individ-, 
uals  to  the  University  fund  might  be  transferred  or  sold  by  the 
holders  for  a  valuable  consideration. 

The  act  approved  March  2,  1859  (Laws  1859,  p.  239),  among 
general  enactments  for  the  sale  of  lands  and  the  loaning  of  the 
funds,  provided  that  out  of  the  first  proceeds  the  Board  of 
Trustees  should  be  entitled  to  receive  an  amount  equal  to  the 
interest  belonging  to  the  University,  to  be  applied  to  the  dis- 
charge of  the  debts  growing  out  of  the  rebuilding  of  the  Uni- 
versity, and  to  the  purchase  of  a  suitable  library,  philosophical 
apparatus,  or  proper  furniture,  in  place  of  those  destroyed  by 
the  burning  of  the  University. 

One  of  the  members  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  to  be  desig- 
nated by  the  Board,  was  required  to  attend  the  sale  of  lands  to 
prevent  combinations  injurious  to  the  University,  and  was  em- 
powered to  withdraw  the  lands,  or  a  part  of  them,  from  sale 
whenever  he  should  deem  it  for  the  interest  of  the  institution 
so  to  do,  but  no  member  of  the  Board  was  to  become  the  pur- 
chaser, either  directly  or  indirectly  of  any  University  lauds* 

The  act  approved  May  11,  1861  (Laws  1861,  p.  88),  author- 
ized the  Trustees  to  appropriate  one  thousand  dollars  out  of 
the  proceeds  of  the  sales  of  University  lands  for  the  purpose  of 
enlarging  the  cabinet,  and  appointed  Professor  T.  A.  Wylie,  or 
such  person  as  the  Trustees  might  designate,  to  take  charge  of 
the  appropriations  and  expend  it  in  the  purchase  of  specimens. 

The  State  Geologist  was  created  a  member  of  the  faculty, 
and  directed  in  his  reconnoissances  to  collect  duplicate  speci- 
mens of  mineralogy  and  geology,  and  to  deposit  one  set  in  the 
University  cabinet ;  and  the  State  Librarian  was  directed  to 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  38 

transfer  from  the  State  Library  to  the  library  of  the  University 
a  complete  set  of  the  journals  of  both  houses,  a  copy  of  all 
laws  enacted  since  the  organization  of  the  State,  of  all  reports 
from  the  departments  of  the  State,  and  of  those  received  from 
the  other  States  and  the  General  Government,  and  of  all  other 
books  where  there  were  duplicates  in  the  library,  provided  they 
could  be  spared,  and  the  transfer  be  made  without  expense  to 
the  State. 

In  the  same  year,  by  the  act  approved  May  31,  1861  (Laws 
1861,  p.  89),  it  was  enacted  that  the  contingent  fee  on  the  per- 
petual scholarships  should  be  not  more  than  one  dollar  each 
session ;  and  the  Trustees  were  authorized,  whenever  they 
should  deem  it  for  the  best  interest  of  the  University,  to  pur- 
chase such  scholarships  at  not  more  than  90  cents  on  the  dollar, 
by  giving  notice  in  a  Blooniington  paper  that  they  were  ready 
to  purchase,  after  which  notice  no  person  could  claim  any  rights 
"under  such  certificates,  except  to  sell  them. 

An  advance  step  was  taken  by  the  Legislature,  in  the  act  ap- 
proved March  8,  1867  (Laws  1867,  p.  20).  The  preamble  of  the 
act  is  as  follows  :  "  Wherea*,  The  endowment  fund  of  the  Uni- 
versity, located  at  Blooimngton,  Monroe  County,  is  no  longer 
sufficient  to  meet  the  growing  wants  of  education,  and  make 
said  University  efficient  and  useful;  and,  whereas,  it  should  be 
the  pride  of  every  citizen  of  Indiana  to  place  the  State  Uni- 
versity in  the  highest  condition  of  usefulness,  and  make  it  the 
crowning  glory  of  our  present  great  common  school  system, 
where  education  shall  be  free,  therefore,"  there  was  appro- 
priated the  sum  of  eight  thousand  dollars  annually  out  of  the 
State  Treasury,  to  be  paid  semi-annually,  commencing  on  the 
31st  day  of  March,  1867. 

This  appropriation  seems  to  have  been  insufficient,  for,  by 
the  act  approved  December  14,  1872  (Laws  Spec.  Sess.  1872,  p. 
4),  it  was  recited  that  the  incomes  of  the  University  were  in- 
sufficient to  meet  current  expenses,  that  the  Board  of  Trustees, 
in  order  to  kee[>  the  several  departments  in  operation,  had  been 
compelled  to  borrow  a  large  amount  of  money,  to- wit :  $8,000. 
Therefore,  an  appropriation  of  that  amount  was  made,  in  order 
to  pay  and  discharge  the  debts  so  incurred. 

The  general  appropriation  act  of  March  10, 1873  (Laws  1873, 
p.  8),  appropriated  the  sum  of  $12,000  for  the  year  commencing 
April  1,  1874,  but  the  same  Legislature,  by  the  act  of  February 


84  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

19,  1873,  after  declaring  that  the  income  of  the  endowment 
fund,  together  with  the  amount  appropriated  hy  the  act  of 
1867  had  "become  wholly  inadequate  to  meet  the  growing 
wants  of  public  education,  and  is  not  sufficient  to  enable  said 
University  rightly  to  provide  for  the  education  of  all  who  are 
seeking  instruction  within  her  walls,  and  to  accomplish  her 
true  mission  as  the  head  of  our  present  great  system  of  com- 
mon schools,  where  education  shall  be  free  to  all"  made  an  ap- 
propriation of  $15,000,  to  be  paid  semi-annually  thereafter  from 
the  30th  of  September,  1873. 

The  general  appropriation  act  of  1877  (Laws  1877,  p.  8),  gave 
|14,000  to  the  University,  but  exacted  that  out  of  that  amount 
should  be  paid  the  debts  due  on  the  Owen  Cabinet,  the  salaries 
of  the  President  at  the  rate  of  $2,500,  and  of  the  professors 
$1,500  each,  per  annum,  and  all  expenses  allowed  to  the  Board 
of  Trustees. 

The  annual  appropriations  thereafter  were  monotonously 
alike,  and  are  passed  over  as  unimportant. 

The  next  great  advance  in  University  legislation,  and  the 
provision  most  likely  to  insure  the  fulfillment  of  the  ideas  of 
its  founders,  was  through  the  "  act  to  provide  a  fund  for  the 
permanent  endowment  of  Indiana  University,  and  for  the  en- 
dowment of  the  same,"  approved  March  8,  1883  (Laws  1883;

"SECTION  1.  Be  it  enacted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State 
of  Indiana,  That  there  shall  be  assessed  and  collected,  as  State 
revenues  are  assessed  and  collected,  in  the  year  of  eighteen 
hundred  and  eighty-three,  and  in  each  of  the  succeeding  twelve 
years,  the  sum  of  one-half  of  one  cent  on  each  one-hundred 
dollars'  worth  of  taxable  property  in  this  State ;  which  money 
when  collected  and  paid  into  the  State  Treasury,  in  each  of  the

he  shall  also,  in  like  manner,  enter  satisfaction  in  full  on  the 
face  of  the  mortgage,  which  mortgage,  when  presented  by  the 
mortgager,  or  any  person  holding  title  under  him,  to  the  Re-

the  Treasurer  of  State  to  cause  to  be  executed,  as  an  evidence 
of  any  such  loan,  a  non-negotiable  bond  of  the  State  for  the 
amount  so  borrowed,  in  like  manner  as  is  provided  in  section 
three  of  this  act:  Provided,  If  at  any  time  hereafter  the  said 
Indiana  University  shall  be  consolidated  with  any  other  educa- 
tional institution  or  institutions  of  the  State,  or  shall  be  re- 
moved from  its  present  location  for  any  cause  whatever,  the 
fund  raised  under  the  provisions  of  this  act  shall  he  held  and 
used  for  the  benefit  of  such  institution  as  consolidated  or 
changed,  notwithstanding  such  change  or  consolidation  when- 
ever so  removed  or  consolidated:  fVor/VW,///yf//rr,  That  after

taking  effect  of  this  act,  it  shall  be  in  force  from  and  after  its 
passage." 

The  general  appropriation  act  of  1885  (Laws  1885,  p.  47-189) 
gave  the  sum  of  $23,000,  for  the  expenses  of  the  current  year, 
to  the  University  r  and  the  act  approved  March  6,  1885  (Laws 
1885,  p.  65)  appropriated  the  further  sum  of  $30,000,  with  which 
to  build  an  engine  house,  to  build  fences  and  improve  the  col- 
lege grounds,  to  supply  the  necessary  jiiping  and  apparatus  for 
lighting  and  heating  the  buildings,  to  replace  the  library  and 
museum,  and  to  supply  the  chemical,  philosophical  and  natural 
science  departments  with  the  apparatus,  fixtures  and  appliances 
therein  needed.  The  law  declared  this  necessary  by  reason  of 
the  total  destruction  of  one  of  the  buildings,  with  its  contents, 
in  July,  1883,  to  replace  which  the  county  of  Monroe  had,  with 
great  liberality,  contributed  the  sum  of  fifty  thousand  dollars, 
with  which  sum  the  Board  of  Trustees  had  purchased  a  new 
site  for  the  college  campus,  and  erected  two  new  buildings 
thereon  for  the  use  of  the  University. 


HISTORY    OF   INDIANA   UNIVERSITY.  37 

The  progress  of  legislation  for  the  Indiana  University  has 
thus  been  traced  through  a  century  of  wonderful  growth  in 
science,  arts,  public  improvements  and  general  wealth,  in  what 
was  at  the  beginning  a  wilderness  far  from  the  refinements  of 
civilization. 

\Vlien  the  idea  of  establishing  seminaries  and  colleges  in  the 
Xorthwest  Territory  was  broached  the  savage  red  man  claimed 
title  to  its  soil,  Spain  and  Great  Britain  claimed  it  by  the  right 
of  discovery,  the  sparse  settlements  were  exposed  to  all  the 
terrors  of  Indian  warfare,  and  the  pioneer  settler  and  his  family 
lived  in  daily  dread  of  the  tomahawk  and  the  scalping  knife. 
The  tides  of  war,  both  with  the  savage  and  with  Great  Britain, 
were  for  many  years  to  ebb  and  flow  over  and  hold  in  their 
vortex  these  exposed  frontier  settlements,  and  a  decade  was  to 
elapse  before  Mad  Anthony  Wayne  should  break  the  backbone 
of  savage  supremacy  by  his  skillful  and  dashing  campaign  sub- 
sequent to  the  defeat  of  Harnier  and  St.  (lair;  and  a  full 
quarter  of  a  century  was  to  be  filled  with  breathings  of  war, 
pillage  and  slaughter,  ere  the  founders  of  western  empires  were 
to  find  peace. 

Beasts  as  savage1  as  the  Indian  roamed  throughout  the  dense 
forests  and  over  the  great  prairies,  adding  to  the  terrors  which 
surrounded  the  families  which  founded  our  infant  State.  The 
stately  buffalo,  the  graceful  elk  and  deer,  furnished  them  with 
meat,  and  skins  for  clothing. 

Kre  the  savage  and  the  wild  beast  had  disappeared  before  the 
footsteps  of  advancing  civilization,  log  school  houses,  semina- 
ries, colleges  and  universities  were  founded,  and  moccasined 
youth,  in  buckskin  breeches  or  homespun  garments,  were 
among  those  seeking  to  sip  from  the  fountain  of  learning. 

Ikfw  changed  the  time's  ! 

Now.  the  Indiana  University  stands  among  the  leading  insti- 
tutions of  learning  which  grace  our  fair  land,  in  the  midst  of 
a  dense-  population,  close  to  the  center  of  American  empire,  and 
challenge's  the  admiration  of  the  State1  whose  fostering  care  has 
for  a  century  been  over  her. 

How  much  she  has  contributed  to  the  rapid  development  of 
the  State  in  virtue,  education,  wealth  and  power,  who  can  tell? 

Let  the  close  of  the  next  centurv  of  its  existence  answer. 


4 — HISTORY. 


THE   IXDIAXA  SEMINARY 


BY    JUDGE    DAVID    D.    BAXTA. 


On  the  nineteenth  day  of  April,  one  thonsand  eight  hundred 
and  sixteen,  the  (Congress  of  the  United  States  passed  an  act  to 
enahle  the  people  of  the  Indiana  territory  to  form  a  Constitu- 
tion and  State  Government,  and  to  he  admitted  into  the  Union 
on  an  equal  footing  with  the  original  States.  Certain  propo- 
sitions were  ottered  to  the  Convention  of  the  territory  when  it 
met  to  frame  a  constitution  "for  their  free  acceptance  or  rejec- 
tion," one  of  which  was  that  an  entire  township  "shall  he  des- 
ignated hy  the  President  of  the  United  States  *  *  for  the 
use  of  a  seminary  of  learning,  and  he  vested  in  the  Legislature 
of  said  State,  to  he  appropriated  solely  to  the  use  of  such  sem- 
inary." 

This  act  lie*  at  the  very  foundation  of  the  history  of  the 
Indiana  University.  It  came  as  a  free-will  ottering,  and  it  is 
gratifying  to  know  that  it  was  accepted  in  a  spirit,  as  broad 
and  liberal  as  that  in  which  it  was  ottered.  The  Convention  to 
frame  a  Constitution  for  the  new  State  met  at  Corydon  on  the 
10th  of  June  of  the  same  year,  and  hy  the  80th  of  the  month 
the  work  was  done. 

A  liberal  spirit  animated  the  members  of  the  Convention  in 
favor  of  popular  education.  With  the  declaration  that  "  knowl- 
edge and  learning  generally  diffused  through  a  community"  is 
"essential  to  the  preservation  of  free  government,"  they  im- 
posed upon  all  future  general  assemblies  of  the  State  the  duty 
of  providing  by  law  for  a  ''general  system  of  education,  as- 
cending in  a  regular  gradation  from  township  schools  to  a  State 
university,  wherein  tuition  shall  be  gratis,  and  equally  open 
to  all." 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  89 

On  the  30th  of  the  month  the  Convention  adjourned,  its  last 
act  being  a  formal  acceptance  of  the  propositions  made  by 
Congress.  Eleven  days  thereafter  James  Madison,  the  Presi- 
dent, designated  Congressional  township  number  eight  north, 
range  number  one  west,  in  the  u  Vincennes  District,"  which 
township  two  years  after,  in  the  organization  of  Monroe  county, 
became  a  part  thereof. 

At  tbe  time  of  the  admission  the  population  of  Indiana  did 
not,  it  is  believed,  exceed  seventy  thousand.*  The  settled  parts 
were  contined  to  a  narrow  fringe  of  territory  extending  down 
the  Ohio  State  line  from  Wayne  County  to  the  Ohio  River  and 
thence  down  that  to  the  mouth  of  the  Wabash,  and  thence  up 
that  to  Vincennes.  Less  than  a  fourth  part  of  the  State  was 
unsurveyed,  and  to  nearly  or  quite  all  the  unsurveyed  parts  the 
Indians  still  claimed  title.  From  the  Seminary  Township  to 
the  nearest  point  on  the  southern  Indian  boundary  line  was  but 
litle  over  four  miles. 

The  four  years  succeeding  the  admission  of  the  State  were 
marked  by  a  great  growth  in  population.  The  census  of  1820 
gave  as  the  number  147,178,  an  increase  of  a  fraction  less  than 
twenty-thousand  per  year.  The  new  emigrants  finding  the  more 
desirable  lands  of  the  older  counties  taken  up,  pressed  out  upon 
the  Indian  border  in  search  of  new  homes.  In  the  acts  of  the 
Genera]  Assembly  creating  new  counties,  we  may  read  something 
of  the  story  of  the  State's  growth.  In  1818  nine  new  ones  were 
organized,  a  number  never  exceeded  in  one  year  in  the  history 
of  the  State,  and  never  but  once  equaled, 

The  central  regions  of  the  State  were  in  possession  of  the 
Delaware  Indians,  whose  braves  Were  renowned  as  hunters  and 
trappers,  and  who  were  loth  to  surrender  a  country  celebrated 
for  its  game  and  fur-bearing  animals  as  was  theirs,  to  take 
their  chances  they  knew  not  where.  But  at  length,  admon- 
ished by  the  increasing  numbers  of  pioneer  settlers  crowding 
upon  their  borders,  they  consented,  in  1818,  to  cede  their  lands 
to  the  United  States,  reserving,  however,  the  possession  till 
1820,  at  which  time  the  last  of  the 'tribe  were  removed  to  their 
new  home  west  of  the  Mississippi.  As  the  red  men  went  out 
at  one  door,  the  white  moved  in  at  the  other,  and  at  the  close 
of  the  year  1820,  there  was  no  part  of  the  Xew  Purchase,  after- 
wards organized  into  a  county,  in  which  the  smoke  from  at 
least  one  adventurous  pioneer's  cabin  did  not  ascend. 

*By  a  census  taken  in  1875  the  number  of  free  white  inhabitants  was  found  to  be  63,897. 


40  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

In  1815  the  first  white  man,  a  "jovial  fiddler''  as  well  as 
fearless  hunter,  founded  a  home  within  the  present  limits  of 
Monroe  County,  and  in  the  year  following  the  first  cabins  were 
huilt  on  the  present  site  of  Bloomington.  Early  in  1818  Mon- 
roe County  was  organized,  and  in  April  of  the  same  year 
Bloomington  was  staked  out  adjoining  the  Seminary  township 
on  the  north. 

For  an  inland  town  of  that  day,  Bloomington  grew  rapidly 
from  the  first,  a  circumstance  largely  due  to  the  nearness  of  the 
Seminary  township.  At  the  close  of  its  -first  year  it  contained 
140  inhabitants,  living  in  thirty  hastily  constructed  log  cabins. 
In  the  following  year  its  population  was  doubled.  By  1820  the 
public  square  was  cleared  of  the  last  of  its  native  forest  trees; 
the  first  log  court  house  was  outgrown,  and  Col.  John  Ketcham 
Avas  at  work  on  a  brick  edifice,  which  still  stands  in  the  public 
square,  an  enduring  monument  to  honest  workmanship. 

The  Constitution  inhibited  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State 
from  providing  for  the  sale  of  any  lands  set  aside  for  educa- 
tional purposes  for  four  years  next  after  the  organization  of 
the  State  government.  The  Assembly  which  was  to  meet  in 
December,  1820,  in  Corydon,  was  the  first  having  the  power  to 
take  another  step  toward  the  establishment  of  such  a  school  of 
learning  as  the  Congress  of  1816  had  in  mind. 

There  is  evidence  of  the  fact  that  many  of  the  educated  men  of 
the  new  State  looked  forward  with  interest  to  the  time  when  leg- 
islative action  could  be  had.  The  pioneer  settlers  of  Indiana 
were  poor  men,  and  it  was  with -the  utmost  difficulty  that  most 
of  them  were  enabled  to  clear  and  make  farms,  and  at  the  same 
time  maintain  themselves  and  families.  In  those  days  the  num- 
ber of  children  in  most  families  within  the  school  ages  was 
large,  and  never  i  if  the  history  of  the  State  has  there  been  a  time 
when  there  was  such  a  pressing  need  for  common  schools,  and 
never  was  there  less  ability  to  maintain  them.  The  poverty  of 
the  people  forbade  an  expenditure  for  school  purposes  in 
any  manner  commensurate  with  the  wants  of  the  times,  nor 
were  there  any  public  funds  to  supplement  their  efforts  ;  and 
worse  than  all, .there  were  but  few  teachers  in  the  new  State 
whose  moral  and  educational  qualifications  fitted  them  to  be- 
come instructors  of  its  youth.  Founding  a  school  on  the  plan 
of  the  college  by  the  State  would  not  add  to  the  pecuniary 
ability  of  the  people  to  maintain  their  "township  schools," 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  41 

but  would  not  such  a  school  become  a  center  of  learning  whence 
the  young  men  of  the  State,  fully  equipped  for  the  work,  would 
go  forth  to  take  their  places  in  the  school-houses  of  the  land? 
And  would  not  the  State  the  more  surely,  in  after  years,  reap 
the  reward  coming  through  the  influence  of  scholarly  men  in 
the  walks  of  professional  life?  So  reasoned  the  friends  of 
higher  education  in  Indiana  in  1820. 

The  men  of  Bloomington,  it  may  well  be  surmised,  were  ripe 
for  legislative  action  as  soon  as  it  could  be  had.  Not  a  few  ot 
them  had  been  drawn  to  the  new  town  by  the  reserved  town- 
ship, and  ;t  is  not  strange  that  they  met  late  in  the  fall  of  1819 
and  selected  one  of  their  number  to  represent  them  at  the  ses- 
sion of  the  Legislature,  which  was  to  meet  early  in  the  follow- 
ing December,  to  press  upon  the  attention  of  the  members  the 
necessity  of  legislation  in  that  behalf.  Dr.  David  H.  Maxwell 
was  chosen  for  that  service,  and  they  could  not  have  chosen  a 
better  man.  As  a  delegate  from  Jefferson  County  he  sat  in 
the  convention  of  1816,  and  had  therefore  some  legislative  ex- 
perience. He  had  a  talent  for  politics,  whence  came  an  exten- 
sive acquaintance  with  the  public  men  of  the  State.  He  was 
plausible,  conciliatory,  level-headed,  and  a  good  judge  of  human 
nature.  That  rare  accomplishment  of  seeming  to  follow,  while 
actually  leading,  he  possessed  in  a  high  degree;  arid,  above  all, 
he  was  through  and  through  a  friend  to  higher  education.  This 
was  the  first  service  he  was  called  upon  to  render  an  institu- 
tion to  the  furthering  of  whose  interests  he  was  ever  after  de- 
voted. For  thirty  years,  of  all  men  outside  the  circle  of  those 
engaged  as  teachers,  he  gave  the  most  of  his  time  in  its  service 
and  to  better  purpose.  It  is  not  too  much  to  say  that  during 
all  that  time  the  institution  as  Seminary,  College  and  Univer- 
sity (for  he  was  with  it  from  the  inception  of  the  first  until  it 
had  passed  into  the  last),  was  the  center  of  his  best  thoughts, 
the  object  of  his  highest  aims.  Dr.  Maxwell  was  an  ambitious 
man,  ambitious  for  place  and  power  in  the  political  world,  but 
he  seemed  to  have  subordinated  his  highest  ambitions  to  the 
welfare  of  his  cherished  institution.  Is  not  such  devotion 
worthy  of  remembrance?  Is  there  not  something  worthy  of 
high  commendation  in  all  this?  I  doubt  if  in  all  his  work  for 
Seminary,  College  and  University  he  ever  thought  of  self.  His 
efforts  were  unselfishly  directed.  Let  history  do  justice  to  his 


42  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

name.  So  unremitting  was  he  in  his  labors  and  to  such  good 
purpose  were  they  directed  that  it  can  be  said  of  him,  as  of  no 
other,  he  was  the  father  of  the  Indiana  University.* 

Xol withstanding  the  legislative  mind  was  favorable  to  the 
organization  of  a  State  school,  there  was  wide  difference  of  opin- 
ion when  it  came  to  the  details  of  the  plan,  and  to  such  an  ex- 
tent was  this  carried  that  when  the  bill  went  to  the  Senate  it 
was  saved  by  the  casting  vote  of  the  Lieutenant  Governor, 
Ratliff  Boon.  On  the  20th  of  January,  1820,  by  the  signature 
of  Jonathan  Jennings,  the  first  Governor  of  the  State,  it  be- 
came a  law,  and  the  STATE  SEMINARY  FOR  THE  STATE  OF  IN- 
DIANA was  duly  chartered.  Six  citizens  of  the  State,  Charles 
Dewey,  Jonathan  Lindley,  David  H.  Maxwell,  John  M.  Jenkins, 
Jonathan  Xichols  and  William  Lowe,  were  named  as  Trustees, 
and  empowered  to  select  a  site  for  a  Seminary,  to  provide  for 
the  sale  of  not  exceeding  640  acres  of  the  reserved  land,  and  as 
soon  as  they  thought  it  expedient  to  erect  a  "  suitable  building 
for  a  State  Seminary,  and  also  a  suitable  and  commodious 
house  for  a  professor." 

On  the  first  Monday  in  June  four  of  the  six  Trustees  met  in 
Bloomington,  in  obedience  to  the  law  for  the  purpose  of  select- 
ing a  site  for  the  Seminary,  but  on  account  of  the  absence  of 
Dewey  and  Lindley,  they  adjourned  over  to  a  day  in  July, 
which  the  record  does  not  name.  On  that  unnamed  day  five 
members  met  and  proceeded  to  choose  a  Seminary  site  "about 
a  quarter  of  a  mile  due  south  from  Bloomington,  on  a  beauti- 
ful eminence,  and  convenient  to  an  excellent  spring  of  water, 
the  only  one  on  the  section  selected  that  could  with  conven- 
ience answer  the  purposes  of  a  Seminary/' 

Over  twenty  months  passed  away  before  the  work  of  building 
was  actually  begun.  Everything  was  in  the  green,  and  while  a 
round-log  cabin,  or  even  a  hewed-log  one,  could  be  run  up  in  a 
marvelously  short  time  by  the  pioneers  of  1820,  the  erection  of 
a  brick  Seminary,  or  even  a  brick  house  for  a  professor,  they 
found  to  be  quite  another  thing.  The  two  buildings  were  be- 
gun, however,  and  ultimately  completed.  The  professor's  house 
was  erected  in  the  southwest  corner  of  the  campus,  at  a  cost 
of  $891.  The  Seminary  edifice,  60  feet  long  and  31  wide,  stood 
on  the  high  ground,  well  in  toward  the  center  of  the  campus. 
It  was  two  stories  in  height,  and  when  new  was  considered

quite  a  pretentious  building.  It  fronted  to  the  east,  had  a 
chapel  and  two  recitation  rooms  below,  and  an  equal  number 
of  rooms  above.  It  cost  $2,400,  and  must  have  been  substan- 
tially built,  for  it  stood  for  nearly  half  a  century,  being  used  the 
greater  part  of  the  time  for  the  preparatory  school,  and  being 
endeared  to  the  memory  of  thousands  of  students  who  pursued 
their  grammar  studies  therein.  In  18 —  it  was  pulled  down  to 
make  room  for  a  more  pretentious  edifice. 

By  the  fall  of  1823  the  seminary  was  so  near  completion  that 
it  was  thought  advisable  to  elect  a  professor  and  take  such 
other  steps  looking  to  the  beginning  of  educational  work  as 
should  be  deemed  proper.  Accordingly,  on  the  20th  of  Xo- 
veruber,  the  Rev.  Baynard  R.  Hall,  a  native  of  Pennsylvania, 
but  for  nearly  or  quite  a  year  living  with  friends  on  White 
river,  not  far  from  Gosport,  was  chosen  at  a  salary  of  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  dollars  per  year.  Two  terms  a  year  were  pro- 
vided for  of  five  months  each,  and  the  tuition  fees  were  fixed 
at  five  dollars  per  term,  but  at  the  end  of  a  year  were  raised 
to  ten. 

The  choice  could  hardly  have  fallen  upon  a  worthier  man. 
His  academic  education  he  had  received  at  Union  College  and 
his  theological  at  Princeton.  He  was  an  excellent  classical 
scholar  and  a  persuasive  and  sometimes  eloquent  preacher. 
As  a  teacher  he  was  enthusiastic,  faithful  and  painstaking. 
Into  the  frontier  life  of  the  White  River  settlement,  in  which 
his  lot  was  cast  for  a  time  after  he  first  came  to  the  State,  he 
entered  with  a  zeal  that  soon  brought  him  to  know  all  its  pe- 
culiarities, a  knowledge  that  stood  him  many  a  good  turn  while 
at  the  head  of  the  State  seminary.  He  became  a  skilled  marks- 
man with  the  rifle,  he  learned  the  art  of  rolling  logs,  he  took 
lessons  in  manners  practiced  at  wood-chopping  and  quilting 
frolics,  he  was  an  interested  looker-on  at.  pioneer  camp- 
meetings,  he  clerked  in  a  country  store,  ground  bark  in  a  tan- 
nery, preached  some,  and  wras,  he  himself  says,  "the  very  first 
man  since  the  creation  of  the  world  that  read  Greek  in  the  new 
purchase." 

On  the  first  of  May,  1824,  the  seminary  doors  were  opened 
for  the  reception  of  students,  and  ten  boys  were  admitted. 
These,  the  first  to  drink  at  the  fountain  of  learning  opened  by 
the  bounty  of  the  State,  were  Findlay  Dodds,  James  F.  Dodds, 
Aaron  Furgason,  Hamilton  Stockwell,  John  Todd,  Michael 


44  HISTORY   OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

Hummer,  Samuel  C.  Dunn,  James  \V.  Dunn,  James  A.  Max- 
well and  Joseph  A.  Wright.  All  these  lived  to  manhood  and 
rendered  efficient  service  to  society,  one  as  a  tanner,  one  as  a 
merchant,  three  as  physicians,  two  as  ministers  of  the1  gospel 
and  three  as  lawyers,  and  the  hitter,  Joseph  A.  Wright,  attain- 
ing to  the  honorable  position  of  Governor  of  Indiana,  and  sub- 
sequently to  that  serving  his  country  in  a  diplomatic  position 
in  a  foreign  land. 

To  the  reader  of  to-day  the  attendance  at  the  beginning  must 
seem  small,  and  so  of  the  attendance  all  through  the  seminary 
period.  The  first  year  the  highest  number  was  thirteen  ;  the 
second,  fifteen,  and  the  t-hird,  twenty-one.  This  was  indeed  a 
slow  growth,  but  we  need  not  go  far  to  find  the  cause.  While 
the  population  of  the  State  had  increased  rapidly,  having 
mounted  up  to  a  half  million  in  1825,  and  was  still  going  up- 
ward, the  condition  of  the  individual  was  but  little  if  any  better 
than  it  had  ever  been  before.  The  great  war  with  the  trees 
was  at  its  fiercest,  and  every  man  or  boy  able  to  swing  an  ax  or 
"pick  trash"  was  listed  as  a  soldier.  The  old  English  rule, 
"All  summer  in  the  field  and  all  winter  in  the  study,"  univer- 
sally prevailed  as  far  as  the  summer  was  concerned.  A  part  only 
of  the  winter  was  given  to  study  in  the  log  school  houses  of 
the  State.  There  were  few  parents  of  that  day  able  to  give 
their  sons  opportunity  for  acquiring  a  better  education  than 
could  be  had  in  the  district  schools. 

For  three  years  Baynard  R.  Hall  was  the  sole  teacher  in 
charge  of  the  State  Seminary,  during  all  of  which  time  Greek 
and  Latin  were  the  only  branches  taught.  During  the  second 
year  the  Board  of  Trustees  made  an  order  requiring  "  English 
Grammar,  Logic,  Rhetoric,  Geography,  Moral  and  Xatural  Phi- 
losophy and  Euclid's  Elements  of  Geometry  "  to  be  taught ;  hut 
we  have  the  authority  of  the  President  of  the  Board,  Dr.  David 
II.  Maxwell,  in  a  report  made  to  the  General  Assembly,  for  say- 
ing that  "during  the  first  three  years  the  Greek  and  Latin 
languages  alone  were  taught."  Those  were  the  days  when  ev- 
erything was  subordinated  to  the  study  of  the  classics.  Every 
person  making  any  pretence  to  learning  could  on  occasion 
quote  Latin.  Most  literary  efforts  abounded  in  classical  allu- 
sions. The  statesmen  of  the  period  interlarded  their  Congres- 
sional speeches  with  quotations  from  the  Latin  authors,  and  so 
did  the  Governors  of  Indiana,  in  their  annual  messages  to  the 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  45 

legislators  of  the  State.  The  law  books  of  the  time  are  copi- 
ous in  Latin,  and  editors' of  newspapers  even  did  not  disdain 
now  and  then  to  instruct  their  readers  by  a  sentence  from  a  dead 
language  woven  into  their  more  stately  editorials.  Baynard  R. 
Hall  was  a  classicist.  He  made  no  pretence  to  scholarship  in 
any  other  line.  During  the  seminary  period,  the  year  is  not 
known,  the  students,  with  the  aid  of  their  professor,  organized 
a  literary  society,  for  which  he  compounded  a  name,  the  Heno- 
delphisterian.  He  prescribed  certain  rules  for  its  government, 
one  of  which  was  that  every  person  on  becoming  a  member 
must  drop  his  every  day  name  and  choose  a  Greek  or  Roman 
cognomen,  by  which  he  was  'ever  after  to  be  known  while 
within  the  Ilenodelphisterian  hall.  Accordingly,  every  mem- 
ber of  the  society  was  an  Ajax,  a  Pericles,  a  Timoleon,  and  so  on. 

As  the  end  of  the  third  year  approached,  it  became  evident 
that  additional  teaching  force  must  be  brought  in.  The  older 
boys  were  wanting  something  else  besides  Greek  and  Latin, 
and  moreover  the  twenty-one  students  of  the  third  year  prom- 
ised to  be  thirty  or  forty  the  fourth,  and  so  it  was  determined 
to  elect  an  additional  professor,  one  who  could  teach  the  Math- 
ematics, pure  and  applied,  and  such  of  the  natural  sciences  as 
in  that  day  were  deemed  of  sufficient  importance  to  engage  the 
attention  of  aspiring  youth.  Accordingly,  on  the  10th  of  May, 
1827,  John  M.  Harney,  a  recent  graduate  from  the  Miami  Uni- 
versity, was  elected  to  the  new  professorship  at  a  salary  of  two 
hundred  and  fifty  dollars  per  year,  and  at  once  entered  upon 
his  duties. 

The  wisdom  of  the  act  was  soon  made  manifest.  The  Sem- 
inary not  only  held  its  old  students,  but  gained  others.  Dur- 
ing the  spring  and  summer  term  the  number  in  attendance  was 
twenty-six,  but  on  the  opening  of  the  fall  term  "  about  forty 
students  were  present,"  and  the  number  increased  at  such  a 
rate  that  Dr.  Maxwell  was  enabled  to  write  in  January,  "  there 
is  a  probability  there  will  be. fifty  or  sixty  students  in  attend- 
ance before  the  close  of  the  year." 

The  curriculum  of  studies  in  the  Indiana  Seminary  was  little, 
if  any,  less  extensive,  than  in  any  of  the  western  colleges  of  the 
day.  Hall  was  a  skillful  teacher  of  the  languages,  while  Har- 
ney had  a  genius  for  Mathematics.  ~No  records  remain  of 
classes ;  no  records  even  of  the  names  of  students  in  attend-

mice,  but  the  few  old  men  yet  living-  who  were  students  during 
Seminary  times,  all  speak  in  glowing  terms  of  the  activity  of 
the  professors  and  the  application  of  the  students. 

Early  in  the  month  of  ^ovemher,  1827,  a  Board  of  five  vis- 
itors, of  whom  James  B.  Ray,  the  Governor  of  the  State,  was 
one,  and  James  Scott,  a  Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court,  was  an- 
other, met  in  Bloomington.  This  Board  had  power  to  person- 
ally inspect  the  "  studies  and  progress  "  of  each  student,  and 
the  work  seems  to  have  heen  thoroughly  done.  "  Every  scholar 
was  critically  examined  in  the  different  branches  of  education 
in  which. he  had  been  engaged,"  and  while  the  report  does  not 
in  so  many  words  say  it,  yet  it  is  apparent  that  the  professors 
were  as  "  critically  examined  "  as  were  the  students,  but  in  a 
different  way.  But  professors,  as  well  as  students,  stood  the 
test.  "  The  manner  in  which  both  teachers  and  scholars  ac- 
quitted themselves  "  won  their  highest  praise.  "  There  wras  but 
one  .opinion  among  the  visitors — that  more  ability  to  teach  was 
exhibited  by  the  professors  and  apparent  proficiency  by  the 
scholars  than  ever  before  witnessed  on  a  similar  occasion." 
What  more  could  have  been  said? 

This  Board  examined  into  other  things  besides  the  ability  of 
the  professors  to  teach  and  the  proficiency  of  students,  one  of 
which  was  the  salaries  paid  to  the  professors,  and  they  wisely 
came  to  the  conclusion  that  a  salary  of  two  hundred  and  fifty 
dollars  per  year  was  not  enough,  and  so  they  said  to  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  which  was  in  session  at  the  same  time,  whereupon 
that  Board  raised  the  salary  of  each  to  four  hundred  dollars. 

The  Board  of  Visitors,  through  their  President,  Judge  Scott, 
made  their  report  to  the  next  General  Assembly,  which  met  in 
the  following  December,  Governor  Ray  made  his  report  in  his 
annual  message,  and  Dr.  Maxwell,  the  President  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees,  and  member  of  the  House  of  Representatives, 
made  his  report,  and  all  the  reports  concurred  in  recommend- 
ing that  the  Indiana  Seminary  be  raised  to  the  dignity  of  a 
college. 

Early  in  the  session  a  bill  was.  introduced  having  that  end 
in  view,  which  was  finally  passed  and  signed  by  the  Governor ; 
and  thus,  by  legislative  enactment,  on  the  24th  day  of  January, 
1827,  seven  years  and  four  days  after  the  Indiana  State  Sem- 
inary had  been  chartered,  it  was  merged  into  Indiana  College.

OF  INDIANA  UNIVERSITY. 


ADMINISTRATION. 

Indiana  College  was,  as  already  stated,  established  by  an  act 
of  the  Legislature,  passed  January  24, 1828.  It  was  enacted  by 
the  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Indiana,  "  That  there 
shall  be,  and  hereby  is,  created  and  established  a  college  adja- 
cent to  the  town  of  Bloomington,  in  the  county  of  Monroe,  for 
the  education  of  youth  in  the  American*  learned  and  foreign 
languages,  the  useful  arts  and  sciences,  and  literature,  to  be 
known  by  the  name  and  style  of  the  Indiana  College,  and  to 
be  governed  and  regulated  as  hereinafter  directed."  To  carry 
into  effect  this  ordinance,  a  Board  of  Trustees  and  a  Board  of 
Visitors  were  appointed.  Among  the  first  acts  of  this  Board, 
at  its  meeting  in  Bloomington,  May,  1828,  was  the  election  of 
a  President  and  two  professors  for  the  college.  Andrew  Wylie, 
D.  D.,  President  of  Washington  College,  Pa.,  was  chosen  Pres- 
ident. 

It  was  at  the  beginning  of  the  college  year,  October,  1829, 
having  the  year  before  visited  Bloomington,  that  Dr.  Wylie 
entered  upon  his  duties,  and  the  State  Seminary  became  Indiana 
College.  Dr.  Wylie  was  also  Professor  of  Moral  and  Mental 
Philosophy,  Political  Economy  and  Polite  Literature.  At  the 
same  time  the  Rev.  Baynard  li.  Hall,  the  Principal  of  the  Sem- 
inary, was  elected  Professor  of  the  Ancient  Language,  and  John 
H.  Harney,  teacher  in  the  Seminary,  Professor  of  Mathematics 
and  Natural  and  Mechanical  Philosophy  and  Chemistry,  and 
Mr.  W.  II.  Stockwell  appointed  Superintendent  of  the  Prepar- 

*In  the  early  days  the  bitterness  of  feeling  with  regard  to  everything  English  had  not

atory  Department.  Soon  after  the  organization  of  the  college 
another  larger  and  more  convenient  building  was  contracted 
for,  but  it  was  not  completed  till  18:-H>. 

In  the  first  catalogue  of  the  Institution,  published  in  1831, 
there  is  given,  in  addition  to  the  list  of  students,  the  course  of 
studies  and  something  with  regard  to  its  management  and  dis- 
cipline. "  The  studies  are  so  conducted  that  each  student  gives 
his  undivided  attention  to  one  principal  study  till  it  is  com- 
pleted. This  method  was  adopted  by  the  President  under  the 
full  conviction,  founded  on  twenty  years'  experience,  that  it 
possesses  many  and  decided  advantages  over  that  which  is  pur- 
sued, in  most  colleges,  of  blending  together  a  variety  of  studies. 
During  the  whole  course,  however,  special  attention  is  given  to 
Rhetorical  Reading,  Composition,  Elocution  and  English  Gram- 
mar, and  the  exercises  in  these  become  the  more  frequent  as  the 
student  advances."  This  system  was,  no  doubt,  well  adapted  to 
minds  like  the  President's,  who  had,  in  phrenological  language, 
a  great  organ  of  eoneentrativeness,  but  not  to  the  average  minds 
of  students,  nor  to  the  condition  of  things  as  they  then  existed. 
It  was  partially  changed  in  1840. 

In  these  early  times  the  students  were  required  to  assemble 
every  morning  for  prayers,  shortly  after  daybreak,  and  to  re- 
ceive such  intimations  concerning  their  duty  as  the  President 
might  deem  necessary.  "  The  strictest  attention  is  expected  of 
the  students  to  the  rules  of  morality  and  good  manners,  as  well 
as  to  the  performance  of  their  stated  college  duties.  As  to  mat- 
ters of  religion,  particularly  the  manner  in  which  students  en- 
trusted to  their  care  should  spend  the  Sabbath,  the  Faculty  are 
guided  in  every  case  by  the  will  of  the  parent  or  guardian.  A 
decent  respect,  however,  to  the  sentiments  and  practices  of  the 
religious  world  is,  in  all  cases,  expected  and  required.  It  is  the 
special  care  of  the  Faculty  to  inculcate,  by  precept  and  example, 
the  pure  principles  of  Christianity,  free  from  the  narrow  views 
of  sectarianism  and  perversions  of  fanaticism,  and  so  to  train 
the  minds  of  their  pupils  that  they  may  cherish  en  lightened 
piety  and  benevolence  toward  men." 

In  1836  the  seventh  commencement  exercises  were  held  in  the 
new  college  building.  This  edifice  was  not  remarkable  for  ar- 
chitectural beauty.  It  resembled  somewhat,  in  its  outward 
appearance,  an  old-fashioned  ^ew  England  cotton  mill. 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA   UNIVERSITY.  49 

For  about  three  years  all  things  connected  with  the  college 
went  on  harmoniously,  but  some  trouble  arising  in  the  Faculty 
and  among  the  students,  the  cause  and  nature  of  which  it  is 
unnecessary  to  inquire  into,  resulted  in  the  diminution  of  the 
number  of  students,  and  the  resignation  of  Professors  Hall  and 
Harney.  This  took  place  in  1832.  The  vacancies  thus  created 
were  supplied  by  the  election  of  Ebenezer  N.  Elliott,  a  grad- 
uate of  Miami  University,  as  Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy 
and  Chemistry,  and  of  Beaumont  Parks,  a  graduate  of  Dart- 
mouth College,  as  Professor  of  Languages.  James  D.  Maxwell, 
a  graduate  of  Indiana  College,  succeeded  W.  H.  Stockwell  as 
principal  of  the  Preparatory  Department.  After  the  resigna- 
tion of  Mr.  Maxwell,  Joseph  G.  McPheeters,  assisted  by  M.  M. 
Campbell,  took  his  place  in  the  Preparatory  Department. 

In  1835  Professor  Elliott  received  an  invitation  to  the  Pres- 
idency of  Mississippi  College.  This  he  accepted,  taking  with 
him  Mr.  Maxwell,  the  Principal  of  the  Preparatory  Depart- 
ment, and  Mr.  David  M.  Elliott,  a  late  graduate.  At  the  next 
meeting  of  the  Board,  the  vacancies  thus  caused  were  filled  by 
the  appointment  of  James  F.  Dodds,  a  graduate  of  Indiana 
College,  as  Professor  of  Mathematics;  Augustus  W.  Ruter,  a 
graduate  of  Allegheny  College,  Pa.,  Professor  of  Greek  and 
French ;  T.  A.  Wylie,  a  graduate  of  the  University  of  Pa., 
Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy  and  Chemistry,  and  William 
li.  Harding,  a  graduate  of  Trinity  College,  Dublin,  Ireland,'Pri*i- 
cipal  of  the  Preparatory  Department.  Prof.  Harding  died  after 
a  little  more  than  a  year's  service  in  the  college. 

Many  of  the  students  who  attended  the  college  in  these  early 
days  wTere  young  men  brought  up  on  farms,  and  used  to  hard 
work.  They  came  to  Bloomington,  generally  on  their  own  re- 
sources, depending  on  money  they  had  earned  or  borrowed.  It 
was  not  unusual  for  students  to  attend  to  their  studies  for  a  year 
and  then  absent  themselves  for  the  same  length  of  time  in  or- 
der to  earn  money  by  teaching,  or  otherwise,  and  returning, 
would  complete  their  college  course.  Out  of  this  kind  of  ma- 
terial have  many  of  the  graduates,  and  some  who  were  not 
graduates,  been  made,  who  have  done  honor  to  their  alma 
mater  and  their  country. 

To  show  the  difference  between  the  present  and  past  times, 
a  few  interesting  items  as  to  the  manner  of  living  are  here

stated.  In  this  thickly  wooded  country  fuel  was  cheap.  Fields 
cleared  of  their  timber  were  what  the  farmer  desired,  and 
hence  fire-wood  cost  only  the  labor  to  prepare  it,  and  to  de- 
liver it  to  the  consumer.  Magnificent  tulip-poplar  trees,  many 
of  them  from  four  to  six  feet  in  diameter,  and  rising  to  the 
height  of  sixty  to  eighty  feet  before  branching,  were  (/I'df/cttct./ 
and  left  in  the  fields  to  rot,  their  destruction  often  being  has- 
tened by  fire;  and  valuable  walnut  trees  were1  used  for  fire- 
wood and  fence  rails,  and  so  of  other  trees,  in  order  that  open 
fields  might  be  obtained  for  the  agriculturist.  The  wages  of  a 
laboring  man  were  low;  from  thirty-seven  and  a  half  to  fifty 
cents  a  day  was  considered  a  fair  price. 

In  an  old  record  book  it  was  stated  that  Joseph  A.  Wright 
was  allowed  Tor  ringing  the  bell,  making  fire,  etc.,  during  the 
last  session  in  1828  (the  sessions  were  then  five  months  long), 
Sl(>.25.  We  find  also  that  Joseph  A.  Wright  could  do  a  higher 
class  of  work  than  that.  In  the  same  record  it  is  stated  that 
he  was  allowed  one  dollar  for  repairing  the  top  of  one  of  the 
chimneys.  This  same  Joseph  A.  Wright  was  in  1850  a  much 
esteemed  and  highly  popular  Governor  of  Indiana,  and  after- 
wards was  United  States  Minister  at  Berlin. 

Living  in  these  early  times  was  not  expensive.  Boarding 
could  be  obtained  in  1830  for  from  $1.00  to  $1.25  a  week;  in 
1837  from  $1.50  to  $2.00  a  week  ;  these  prices  included  fuel.  As 
late  as.  1852  the  price  of  boarding  in  private  families  was  from 
$1.25  to  $1.75  a  week.  This  will  not  appear  strange  if  we 
notice  the  prices  of  provisions  in  these  early  days  before  the 
railroad  had  reached  the  town.  Beef  could  be  bought  for  from 
two  to  four  cents  a  pound;  pork  as  cheap  or  cheaper ;  butter 
seldom  more  than  ten  cents  a  pound;  chickens  cost  from  sev- 
enty-five to  eighty  cents  a  dozen ;  eggs  two  or  three  cents  a 
dozen;  twenty-five  cents  would  buy  a  three-gallon  bucketful 
of  eggs ;  turkeys  cost  twenty-five  cents  apiece ;  venison  hams 
the  same  price,  and  flour  and  meal  cheap  in  proportion.  Stu- 
dents who  preferred  to  board  themselves,  or  to  batch,  as  they 
called  it,  could  live  well  on  seventy-five  cents  a  week.  All  im- 
ported delicacies,  such  as  store  sugar,  so  called  to  distinguish  it 
from  maple  sugar,  and  store  tea,  to  distinguish  it  from  sassafras, 
sometimes  called  "grub  hyson,"  were  comparatively  high 
priced.  These  articles  had  to  be  brought  from  "the  River," 
i.  £.,  the  Ohio,  in  wagons,  and  it  took  from  seven  to  ten  day*  to 
make  the  trip. 


HISTORY   OF   INDIANA   UNIVERSITY.  51 

In  1828,  on  account  of  the  high  price  of  boarding,  some  charg- 
ing as  much  as  SI. 75  or  $2.00  a  week,  a  large  brick  building, 
two  stories  high,  was  erected  near  the  southwest  corner  of  the 
campus.  This  building  was  given,  rent  free,  to  a  person  who 
engaged  to  furnish  boarding  and  lodging  at  a  lower  price 
than  was  asked  in  the  town.  The  plan,  however,  did  not  work 
well.  A  boarding  club  was  then  formed.  The  students  in  the 
club  catered  for  themselves,  and  employed  all  necessary  help. 
The  general  supervision  of  the  club  was  entrusted  to  Professor 
M.  M.  Campbell.  Under  his  management  the  plan  succeeded 
very  well.  It  was,  however,  in  a  few  years  discontinued. 

Bloomington,  for  many  years  of  its  early  history,  was  an  iso- 
lated -place.  It  was  about  fifty  miles  from  Terre  Haute,  the 
same  distance  from  Indianapolis,  forty  miles  from  Columbus, 
the  then  terminus  of  the  Madison  &  Indianapolis  Railroad, 
and  nearly  a  hundred  miles  from  New  Albany.  There  was,  in 
these  times,  not  even  a  turnpike  road  leading  to  it.  It  some- 
times happened,  in  the  beginning  of  winter,  that  the  clav  roads 
leading  to  it  were  rendered  impassable  by  the  rain  and  frost, 
and  sometimes  fortwo  weeks  there  would  be  no  communication 
between  Bloomington,  and  we  might  say,  the  outside  world. 
The  tri-weekly  Louisville  and  Indianapolis  mail,  established  by 
Messrs.  John  and  Samuel  Orchard,  would  be  stopped  for  that 
length  of  time.  We  find,  in  some  of  the  old  catalogues  of  the 
University,  special  directions  given  to  the  students  from  the 
South  as  to  the  best  way  to  reach  Bloomington.  They  might 
land  at  Leavenworth,  and  taking  the  stage  there  for  Paoli,  and 
thence  by  Orchard's  stage  line,  reach  Bloomington  in  three 
days  ;  or  landing  at  Louisville,  and  taking  the  stage  there  could 
get  to  the  end  of  their  journey  in  two  days.  When  the  rail- 
road from  Madison  to  Columbus  was  finished,  landing  at  Mad- 
ison they  could  reach  Columbus  by  rail,  and  if  they  did  not 
happen  to  meet  the  tri-weekly  stage  to  Bloomington,  they  could 
hire  a  private  conveyance  that  would  take  them  to  the  end  of 
their  journey.  When  the  New  Albany  &  Salem  Railroad  was 
finished,  it  was  announced  that  students  from  the  South  could 
take  the  railroad  from  New  Albany  to  Salem,  and  thence  to 
Bloomington  it  was  only  twelve  hours.  On  the  completion  of 
the  railroad  to  and  through  Bloomington  to  Michigan  City,  in 
1855,  there  was  comparatively  easy  ace-ess  to  the  University 
from  all  quarters. 


52  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

In  the  year  1838,  on  the  15th  of  Fehruary,  by  an  act  of  the 
General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Indiana,  the  University  was 
chartered.  This  charter,  with  the  proper  changes  made,  is 
similar  to  that  of  the  college.  The  Board  of  Trustees  was  to 
consist  of  twenty-one  members,  any  ten  of  whom  would  make 
a  (piorum.  If  no  quorum  was  present,  the  President  of  the 
University  was  to  he  considered  as  a  member  of  the  Board  till 
the  absent  member  appeared.  The  Governor  of  the  State  was 
made  ex  officio  Vice  President.  Governor  Wallace  was  ex- 
pressly mentioned,  as  he  was  Governor  at  the  thins;  he  and  his 
successors  were  to  occupy  this  position  forever.  By  this  act  of 
the  Legislature  the  college  ceased  to  exist,  and  all  its  property, 
rights  and  privileges  were  turned  over  to  the  University.  There 
is  no  mention  made  of  a  Board  of  Visitors  in  the  University  char- 
ter, but  in  the  act  providing  for  the  government  of  the  Univer- 
sity,appix)ved  June  17, 1852, the  Governoi%  the  Lientenant  Gover- 
nor, Speaker  of  the  House  of  Representatives,  the  Judges  of  the 
Supreme  Court  and  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  were 
made  a  Board  of  Visitors,  any  three  of  them  making  a  (piorum. 

In  1838,  the  last  year  under  the  college  charter,  a  member  of 
the  Board  brought  charges  against  the  President  for  malad- 
ministration;  the  principal  charge  seems  to  have  been  with 
reference  to  the  purchase  of  books  for  the  Library.  It  was 
asserted  that  more  money  than  had  been  appropriated  by  the 
hoard  had  been  spent,  and  improper  books  had  been  bought. 
The  President,  however,  wTas  fully  acquitted,  and  was  thanked 
by  the  Board  for  what  he  had  done,  instead  of  being  censured. 
\Vhen  the  Board  of  Trustees  of  the  University  was  ap- 
pointed by  the  Legislature,  the  member  of  the  Board  who 
brought  these  charges  was  left  out.  The  fomenter  of  all  these 
troubles  succeeded  in  some  degree  in  producing  disaffection 
among  the  students  and  in  the  Faculty.  This  affair  was  con- 
sidered by  the  Board  of  sufficient  importance  to  warrant  the 
publication  of  an  address  by  them  to  the  people,  which  was 
written  by  the  lion.  Robert  Dale  Owen.  From  it  we  extract 
the  following : 

"The  causes  which  have'  cast  a  temporary  cloud  over  the 
prosperity  of  the  Institution  are  such  as  very  commonly  affect 
seminaries  of  learning  at  some  period  of  their  existence; 
especially  such  as  are  endowed  by  public  funds,  and  are  thus 
placed  under  the  supervision  of  the  State  Legislature.  Un-

hallowed  ambition  to  subserve  its  own  private  ends  has  sought 

-L  O 

to  excite  both  within  and  without  the  halls  of  legislation,  dis- 
sentions,  heart  burnings,  and  prejudices  against  the  University. 

u  It  too  frequently  happens  that  men  in  pursuit  of  evil  pur- 
poses exhibit  an  industry  and  perseverance  that  would  do  them 
honor  in  a  good  cause,  and  so  it  was  in  the  case  before  us.  An 
individual  who  had  been,  during  the  existence  of  Indiana  Col- 
lege, for  a  time,  one  of  its  Trustees,  and  who  on  account  of  the 
factions  disposition  he  exhibited  in  that  capacity  failed  to  ob- 
tain a  reJippointment  on  the  Board  of  the  University,  stung  by 
what  he  regarded  as  >m  injury  and  believing  that  the  President 
of  the  University  ha^d  exerted  influence  to  procure  his  exclu- 
sion, he  openly  avowed  his  determination  either  to  be  reinstated 
in  office,  or  if  not  reinstated  to  visit  upon  the  President,  at 
whatever  cost,  the  effects  of  his  disappointment.  A  vacancy 
in  the  Board  of  the  University  occurred  during  its  first  session, 
and  the  individual  in  question  aspired  to  the  situation.  Im- 
mediately before  the  Board  went  into  the  election  it  was  plainly 
intimated  to  them  that  the  aspirant  to  the  vacancy  pledged 
himself  to  bury  in  oblivion  all  animosities  if  elected;  but  if  re- 
jected then  the  Institution  and  the  President  might  look  to 
themselves  and  must  suffer  the  consequences. 

"  The  Board  rejected  this  threatening  candidate.  He,  however, 
kept  his  word.  ~Not  satisfied  to  create  and  foment  jealousies 
and  jarrings  at  home  and  not  content  to  sow  in  the  minds  of 
the  students  the  seeds  of  disaffection  to  their  instructors  and  to 
villify  the  President  by  injurious  epithets  and  unfounded  insin- 
uations, he  proceeded  in  a  more  tangible  way  and  official  form  to 
prosecute  his  attacks." 

At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Legislature  he  presented  a  pe- 
tition in  which  formal  charges  were  preferred  against  Dr.  Wylie. 
The  Legislature,  after  some  discussion,  referred  the  matter  back 
to  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  decision.  In  April,  1839,  a  special 
meeting  of  the  Board  was  called ;  there  were  eleven  members 
present ;  the  Board  continued  a  week  in  session ;  the  Prosecu- 
tor was  called  to  bring  forward  his  charges,  with  their  specifi- 
cations. "  The  examination,"  in  the  words  of  the  address  "was 
conducted  according  to  the  forms  and  regulations  of  criminal 
prosecutions.  The  trial  was  open  to  the  public;  the  witnesses 
regularlv  sworn,  and  when  demanded  by  either  party,  subjected 
to  cross  examination.  The  Board  continued  to  sit  till  the  pros-

editor  and  defendant  had  brought  forward  all  the  testimony 
they  desired."  It  was  at  the  elose  of  this  investigation  that 
the  prosecutor  with  much  eloquence  and  feeling  said,  fcw  Gentle- 
men, it  would  seem  as  thing's  now  stand,  that  the  prosecutor 
has  become  the  defendant  and  the  defendant  the  prosecutor/' 
This  peroration  was  received  with  an  audible  smile  by  the  Board. 

u  The  testimony  adduced  during  the  investigation" — the  ad- 
dress goes  on  to  say — "was  of  so  decided  a  character  that  no 
impartial  jury  in  the  State  of  Indiana  (it  may  be  confidently 
asserted)  would  have  left  the  jury  box  without  returning  a  ver- 
dict of  acquittal/' 

The  Board  expressed  their  opinion  of  the  result  in  the  fol- 
lowing resolutions  : 

"  TiVso/nv/,  That  the  Board  of  Trustees  have  patiently  inves- 
tigated the  charges  against  Dr.  \Vylie,  President  of  the  Kni- 
versity,  of  maladministration,  and  having  heard  for  several 
days  the  prosecutor  and  the  voluminous  testimony  introduced 
by  him,  as  well  as  the  testimony  of  Dr.  \Vylie,  come  unani- 
mously to  the  following  conclusion,  to-wit:  That  the  four 
charges  and  their  specifications:  1st,  of  duplicity;  2d,  of  neg- 
lecting or  refusing  to  obey  the  requirements  of  the  By-Laws; 
3d,  of  arbitrary  and  ungentlemanly  conduct ;  and,  4th,  of  mis- 
representation and  falsehood,  are  wholly  unsubstantiated  by 
proof,  and,  in  the  opinion  of  the  Board,  untrue." 

"Also,  resolved.  That  although  the  Board  have  declined  to  in- 
vestigate, officially,  the  ten  charges  and  specifications  of  mal- 
administration of  the  college,  believing  that  they  have  no 
authority  to  reverse  or  modify  any  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
College  Board,  yet,  from  individual  examinations  of  the  col- 
lege records,  it  does  appear  that  the  gravest  charges  against 
President  Wylie,  and  particularly  in  regard  to  the  purchase  of 
books,  etc.,  have  been  fully  investigated  by  the  Board,  and  the 
President's  conduct  not  only  approved  of,  but  a  vote  of  thanks 
to  him  recorded  for  his  faithful  agency  in  the  affair." 

"The  above  resolutions  were  adopted  by  the  Board  without 
a  dissenting  voice.  Even  the  gentleman  (still  a  member  of  the 
Board)  who  had  authorized  his  name  to  be  placed  along  with 
that  of  the  prosecutor  on  the  accusing  petition,  joined,  after 
he  had  heard  the  evidence,  in  the  unanimous  and  honorable 
acquittal  of  President  Wylie  of  each  and  every  charge  that- 
had  been  brought  against  him."

The  Faculty  in  1839  was  reduced  to  three,  the  President  and 
two  professors,  and  in  1840  the  numher  of  students  was  64.* 
The  deficiency  was  supplied  by  the  election  of  Lieut.  Jacob 
Ammen,  a  graduate  of  West  Point,  who,  on  account  of  his 
excellency  as  a  mathematician  and  draughtsman,  had  been  ap- 
pointed Assistant  Professor  in  the  department  of  Professor 
Davies,  the  Professor  of  Mathematics  and  Engineering.  Dur- 
ing the  short  stay  of  Professor  Ammen  in  the  University,  in 
addition  to  the  duties  of  his  special  department,  he  organized 
a  military  company,  which  drilled  in  the  afternoon,  when  the 
weather  permitted.  Arms  were  furnished  by  the  Government, 
and  an  armory  fitted  up  for  their  reception.  After  the  resig- 
nation of  Professor  Ammen  the  department  continued  for  some 
time,  but  for  want  of  a  proper  leader  it  was  soon,  discontinued. 
The  other  vacancy  in  the  Faculty,  the  Professorship  of  Lan- 
guages, was  supplied  at  the  same  time  by  the  election  of  John 
I.  Morrison,  a  graduate  of  Miami  University,  and  at  that  time 
Principal  of  the  Salem  Seminary,  and  well-known  as  an  excel- 
lent teacher  and  scholar. 

At  the  close  of  the  year  1838  the  Professor  of  Natural 
Philosophy  and  Chemistry  laid  before  the  Board  a  paper  pre- 
senting the  wants  of  the  department.  In  the  existing  build- 
ings there  were  no  conveniences  for  experimental  illustration. 
The  Board  promptly  replied  to  the  suggestions,  and  arrange- 
ments were  made  for  the  erection  of  a  suitable  builditig.  This 
building  was  ready  for  occupation  a  little  over  a  year  after  the 
application  had  been  made  to  the  Board. 

The  number  of  students  had  increased  from  64,  in  1840,  to 
115  in  1843.  In  1843,  June  5th,  Professor  Ammen  resigned, 
and  on  September  25th  of  the  same  year  Professor  Morrison 
Mr.  Henry  Tanner,  a  graduate  of  the  class  of  1842,  was  selected

to  take  charge  of  the  Mathematical  Department  to  the  close  of 
the  college  year,  September  30.  This  position  Mr.  Tanner  filled 
with  credit  to  himself,  and  to  the  entire  satisfaction  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees.  On  the  resignation  of  Professor  Morrison, 
Professor  Daniel  Read,  of  Ohio  University,  was  unanimously 
elected  to  fill  the  vacancy.  On  the  following  day  Professor 
Alfred  Eyors,  of  the  same  institution,  was  elected  Professor 
of  Mathematics  and  Civil  Engineering. 

All  things  in  the  management  of  the  college  affairs  went  on 
smoothly  for  several  years  thereafter.  The  members  of  the 
Faculty  acted  harmoniously,  and  the  number  of  the  students 
gradually  increased.  In  1842  a  long-continued  effort  on  the 
part  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  to  establish  a  law  school  as  a 
department  of  the  institution  was  finally  crowned  with  success 
by  the  election  of  Judge  David  McDonald  Professor  of  Law, 
and  his  acceptance  of  the  position.  Thence,  and  for  many 
years,  the  law  school  continued  to  increase  the  number  of  stu- 
dents in  attendance  upon  the  institution.* 

We  now  revert  to  the  closing  years  of  President  Wvlie's  ad- 
ministration. 

Dr.  Ryors,  the  Professor  of  Mathematics  and  Engineering, 
received  an  invitation  from  Ohio  University  to  return  as  its 
President.  This  invitation  Professor  Ryors  accepted.  The 
Faculty  and  the  Board  expressed  their  estimation  of  the  Pro- 
fessor by  conferring  upon  him  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity. 
On  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Ryors,  Professor  McCartney,  of 
Easton,  Pennsylvania,  was  elected  in  his  place.  Professor  Mc- 
Cartney did  not  accept.  Charles  Marshall,  a  young  man  edu- 
cated at  the  University  of  Virginia,  received  a  pro  tern,  appoint- 
ment. Mr.  Marshall  came  highly  recommended  by  Professor 
Courtenay,  of  the  Mathematical  Department  of  the  University 
of  Virginia,  and  formerly  Professor  of  Engineering  and  Phys- 
ics in  the  Military  Academy,  West  Point,  and  Dr.  William  H. 
McGruffey,  formerly  of  Ohio  University,  then  of  University  of 
Virginia.  In  the  minutes  of  the  Board,  in  1850,  there  is  a 
notice  to  this  effect :  "  That  the  Board,  as  yet,  had  not  been 
able  to  judge  of  the  propriety  of  confirming  the  pro  temjiorc 
appointment  of  Professor  Marshall,  as  there  was  but  a  bare 
quorum  present."  It  is  well  remembered  by  the  writer  that

when  Professor  Marshall  appeared  in  Bloomington  one  at  least 

of  the  Professors  was  l>y  no  means  pleased  with  his  youthful 
appearance.  He  was  then  not  quite  twenty  years  old,  and  not 
large  for  his  age.  This  displeased  professor  thought  that  so 
young  a  person  in  the  Faculty  and  among  students,  many  of 
them  several  years  older  than  himself,  would  not  do.  But  the 
youthful  professor  soon  showed  himself  equal  to  the  occasion. 
Piqued,  perhaps,  at  the  cool  reception,  he  tendered  his  resigna- 
tion Octoher  3,  1850.  This  resignation  was  accepted,  and 
Professor  Larabee,  of  Greencastl6,  was  elected  Professor  of 
Mathematics,  and  a  resolution*  highly  commendatory  of  Pro- 
fessor Marshall  passed  by  the  Board.  The  Board  was  soon 
after  informed  that  Professor  Larabee  could  not  immediately 
accept,  and  asked  the  delay  of  a  year.  Professor  Marshall  was 
.then  earnestly  requested  to  remain  another  year  at  least.  This 
he  consented  to  do. 

The  year  1850  opened  auspiciously.  There  were  in  attend- 
ance about  a  hundred  and  sixty  students  in  all  the  departments 
at  the  commencement  of  the  college  year  September  22,  1850. 
About  the  first  of  November,  Dr.  Wylie  had  been  taking  his 
accustomed  exercise  with  his  axe  in  the  woods,  nearly  a  mile 
away  from  his  dwelling,  when  he  accidentally  cut  his  foot.  Un- 
able to  help  himself,  after  bleeding  and  suffering  for  some  time, 
some  person  passing  in  a  carriage  found  him  and  took  him 
home.  The  wound  was  properly  attended  to,  and  in  a  day  or 
two  he  procured  crutches,  and  contrary  to  the  remonstrances 
of  family  and  friends,  he  went  to  the  college  and  attended  to 
his  classes.  On  Friday,  he  delivered,  according  to  appointment, 
a  lecture  to  the  Agricultural  Society  of  the  town.  He  remained 
in  the  college  till  the  time  for  the  lecture  in  the  afternoon. 
After  the  lecture  he  was  quite  exhausted ;  he  expressed  his 
thankfulness  that  he  would  now  have  two  days  rest.  On  Sun- 
day evening  symptoms  of  pneumonia  appeared  and  on  Tuesday 
morning  following  he  breathed  his  last.f  The  formal  an- 
nouncement was  made  by  Dr.  Read,  to  the  students  on  Wednes- 
day, and  on  the  following  day  the  Faculty  and  students  and  a 

*The  following  is  the  resolution  of  the  Board  passed  on  the  occasion  of  Professor  Mar- 
shall's resignation  :  "  Resolved,  That  the  Board  had  received  with  regret  the  resignation  of 
Professor  Marshall,  and  desire  now  to  express  to  that  gentleman,  in  the  strongest  terms  their 
high  sense  of  his  merits  and  his  services  while  acting  as  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  the 
University."  This  resolution  was  unanimously  passed.

large  concourse  of  friends  and  <-iii/ens  followed  the  body  to 
the  grave.  On  the  day  after  tlie  funeral  of  tlie  President,  Dr. 
Uead  addressed  the  students  assembled  in  the  chapel  and  an- 
nounced tlie  arrangements  made  for  carrying  on  the  \vork  of 
the-  University.  The  classes  of  the  President  were  taken  by 
Professor  Read,  in  addition  to  work  in  his  own  department. 
Tin-  Fresliinan  class  was  taken  by  Professor  \Vylie  in  classical 
studies,  in  addition  to  his  ordinary  work.  All  the  Professors 
heartily  cooperated  in  this  division  of  labor,  calling  for  no  out- 
side help,  in  order  that  the  bereaved  family  of  the  President, 
if  the  Board  should  so  order  it,  might  receive  the  salary  for  the 
collegiate  year,  which  had  just  commenced  at  the  time  of  his 
death. 


REORGANIZATION  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES  BY  THE  LEGISLATURE, 
AND  PRESIDENCY  OF  DR.  RYORS. 

In  accordance  with  an  act  to  reorgani/e  the  Board  of  Trus- 
tees of  Indiana  University,  denning  their  powers  and  their  du- 
ties, and  providing  for  the  election  of  a  President  and  other 
officers,  and  pointing  out  their  powers  and  duties,  approved 
February  16,  1852,  the  following  persons  were  present  and  in- 
stalled in  office  as  Trustees  of  the  University  by  the  President 
of  the  former  Board,  as  required  by  law,  viz. :  John  I.  Mor- 
rison, George  Evans,  Michael  Malott,  Patrick  J.  R.  Murphy, 
Thomas  M.  Adams,  Nathaniel  Browning,  Johnston  McCul- 
lough  and  Joseph  G.  McPheeters.  Joseph  G.  McPheeters  was 
chosen  President.  The  Board  then  elected  Dr.  James  D.  Max- 
well, Secretary  of  the  Board,  and  Joseph  M.  Howe,  Treasurer 
of  the  University.  Among  the  first  acts  of  this  Board,  at  its 
first  meeting  in  April,  1852,  was  to  pass  unanimously  the  reso- 
lutions expressing  their  high  appreciation  of  the  late  President, 
and  their  regret  at  the  loss  the  University  bad  sustained,  and 
their  sympathy  for  the  bereaved  family. 

In  the  Faculty  report  made  at  this  meeting  of  the  Board, 
several  suggestions  wTere  made  with  regard  to  the  condition  of 
the  University  and  its  future  prospects,  presenting  those  meas- 
ures and  improvements  to  which  public  opinion  most  plainly 
points,  and  which,  if  adopted,  will  most  fully  meet  the  demand 
and  wishes  of  the  friends  of  education  in  Indiana,  and  most 
certainly  commend  the  University  to  the  favor  and  fostering 
care  of  the  Legislature. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  59 

At  tills  meeting  of  the  Board.  April  10th.  18.V2.  John  H. 
Lathrop.  LL.  D..  Chancellor  of  Wisconsin  ruiversity,  was 
unanimously  elected  President  to  till  the  vacancy  caused  hy 
Or.  Wylie's  death.  At  the  .Juno  meeting'  of  the  Board,  a  letter 
was  read  from  Dr.  Lathrop,  declining  the  acceptance  of  the  po- 
sition. At  the  clos-  of  tlu-  April  meeting  of  the  "Board.  Professor 
\Vylie  was  made  Superintendent  of  the  University  buildings 
and  adjacent  grounds,  and  the  Faculty  was  requested  to  make 
him  also  their  Chairman  and  acting  President  of  the  Univer- 
sity till  the  President  elect  shall  enter  upon  the  duties  of  his 
office.  At  the  request  of  the  acting  President.  Judge  Mc- 
Donald delivered  the  Baccalaureate  at  the  July  Commence- 
ment. He  took  as  his  subject  the  "  True  Man."  and  made  its 
application  in  the  close  to  the  late  President. 

The  Board,  after  receiving  the  declination  of  Dr.  Lathrop, 
elected  Henry  Barnard,  LL.  D.,  of  Connecticut,  President,  and 
on  the  contingency  of  his  not  accepting,  Rev.  Dr.  Alfred  Ryors, 
President  of  Ohio  University,  was  elected  to  take  the  place.* 

Before  referring  to  the  recommendations  of  the  Faculty  with 
regard  to  the  improvements  to  be  made  in  the  college  curricu- 
lum, the  committee -of  the  Board  state  that  they  can  not  avoid 
an  expression  of  their  gratification  at  the  prompt,  faithful  and 
judicious  manner  in  which  the  Faculty  acted  in  the  painful 
emergencies  in  which  they  were  severally  placed  by  the  decease 
of  the  President,  and  for  the  onerous  labors  which  they  cheer- 
fully assumed  without  any  extra  charge  to  the  University:  the 
Board  owe  the  expression  of  their  approbation  in  strong  and 
decided  terms.  The  labors,  particularly,  of  Professor  Read,  in 
attending  to  the  whole  studies  of  the  Senior  and  Junior  classes 
in  the  President's  department,  and  of  Professor  Wylie  in  hear- 
ing the  recitations  of  the  Freshman  class  in  Latin  and  Greek, 
(in  addition  to  the  duties  of  their  own  departments)  ought  not 
to  be  passed  over  without  notice  and  approval.  That  in  keep- 
ing up  the  recitations  and  all  the  public  exercises  of  the  Uni- 
versity, the  conduct  of  the  Faculty  is  a  valuable  precedent  in 
future  contingencies  which  may  arise,  and  in  the  opinion  of  the 
committee,  merits  the  notice  and  commendation  of  the  Board 
of  Trustees. 

*  It  is  stated  in  the  Annual  Report,  1851-2,  that  a  letter  was  received  from  Mr.  Barnard, 
not  long  before  the  close  of  the  term,  in  which  he  says  that  he  was  completely  incapacitated 
for  all  bodily  or  mental  labor  by  being  thrown  out  of  a  carriage,  and  that  there  was  no  pros- 
pect of  his  being  able  to  act  or  even  to  think  for  some  time  to  come,  and  that  he  must  there- 
fore in  justice  to  himself  and  the  University,  decline  the  appointment. 


60  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

Tho  committee,  also,  in  accordance  with  the  sufirfirestions  of 

oo 

the  Faculty,  recommended  each  of  the  following*  measures  as 
calculated  to  render  the  University  more  useful  and  more 
popular  : 

1.  A  course  of  agricultural  chemistry. 

2.  A  normal  seminary,  with  department  for  males  and  fe- 
males. 

3.  Theoretical  and  practical  engineering. 

4.  The  adoption  of  a  regular  graduation  of  that   class  of 
students  who  take  what  is  called  the  scientific  course. 

A  committee  consisting  of  John  F.  Morrison,  Patrick  J.  R. 
Murphy  and  Joseph  G.  McPheeters,  Avas  appoined,  and,  on  mo- 
tion, Mr.  Morrison  was  selected  hy  the  unanimous  consent  of 
the  Board  to  present  the  subject  to  the  Legislature. 

In  accordance  with  this  resolution,  Mr.  Morrison  presented 
the  report  at  its  session  in  1852,  then  assembled.  On  the  3d  of 
June  he  reported  the- presentation  of  the  report,  and  that  the 
Senate  had  ordered  a  thousand  copies  to  be  printed.* 

In  accordance  with  the  report  and  recommendation  of  the 
Faculty,  the  Board  of  Trustees,  having  now  the  legal  sanction, 
resolved  that  a  Normal  Seminary  for  males  and  females  be  es- 
tablished in  connection  with  the  University,  and  that  a  room 
be  fitted  up  for  a  model  school,  as  subservient  to  the  Normal. 
It  wras  also  resolved  that sum  be  appropriated,  to  be  ex- 
pended in  purchasing  a  building  for  the  use  and  accommoda- 
tion of  the  Female  Department  of  the  Normal  Seminary,  and 
that  a  Department  of  Civil  Engineering  is  hereby  established 
in  connection  with  the  Chair  of  Mathematics. 

In  accordance  with  the  resolution  of  the  Faculty,  a  Normal 
Department  was  established.  Dr.  Reed,  by  the  appointment 
of  the  Faculty  and  resident  Trustees,  undertook  its  manage- 
ment. Auxiliary  to  the  Normal,  certain  rooms  in  the  old  Sem- 
inary Building  were  fitted  up  for  the  model  school,  and  placed 
under  the  charge  of  (now  Rev.)  J.  C.  Smith,  a  graduate  of  the 
University.  During  the  first  year  of  the  Normal  Department 
there  was  an  attendance  of  thirty-seven,  fifteen  of  these  fe- 
males. The  resolution  of  the  Board  to  establish  a  separate 
Female  Department  of  the  Normal  School  was  rescinded  in 

*In  Laws  and  Regulations  concerning  Indiana  University  from  1827  to  1878,  on  p.  46,  the 
act  which  grew  out  of  this  report  is  presented.  On  pp.  50  and  51  will  be  found  the  law  with 
reference  to  the  Normal  Department  and  the  Department  of  Agricultural  Chemistry. 


HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  61 

August,  1858.  IsTot  long  after  a  resolution  was  passed  to  make 
the  Monroe  County  Female  Seminary,  then  under  the  care  of 
Mrs.  E.  J.  McFerson,  its  accomplished  Principal,  the  Female 
Xormal  Seminary  of  the  University.  This  resolution  was 
never  carried  into  effect.  After  the  resignation  of  Professor 
Read  in  1856,  the  Xormal  Department  was  discontinued,  and 
in  the  following  year  the  model  school.  The  model  school 
was  hard  to  manage.  The  pay  of  the  teachers  was  insufficient ; 
hence  it  was  impossible  to  retain  competent  instructors.  It 
had  a  change  of  teachers  nearly  every  year  of  its  existence.* 

Dr.  Barnard  not  accepting  the  offered  Presidency  of  the 
Institution,  Dr.  Ryors,  President  of  Ohio  University,  who  had 
been  elected  as  contingent,  became  the  President  of  Indiana 
University. 

The  prospects  of  the  University  were  at  this  time  very 
gloomy.  To  its  most  hopeful  friends  it  looked  as  if  the  time 
was  nigh  at  hand  when  its  doors  must  be  closed  for  want  of 
funds.  A  long  and  tedious  litigation,  in  which  a  considerable 
part  of  the  endowment  of  the  Institution  was  at  stake,  had 
come  to  an  end,  and  that  adversely  to  it,  a  brief  account  of 
which  it  is  deemed  proper  to  herewith  give. 

In  1804,  while  Indiana  was  still  under  territorial  control,  an 
act  of  Congress  had  reserved  a  township  of  land  in  Vincennes 
Land  District  for  sale  for  the  use  of  a  seminary  of  learning. 
That  township  was  two  years  afterward  located  in  what  is  now 
known  as  Gibson  County,  and  about  the  same  time  the  Terri- 
torial Legislature  incorporated  the  Vincennes  University,  ap- 
pointing Trustees  therefor,  and  empowering  them  to  sell  not 
exceeding  4,000  acres  of  the  reserved  lands.  By  virtue  of  this 
authority,  the  Trustees  sold  the  land,  and  with  the  proceeds 
"  erected  a  large,  commodious  and  appropriate  brick  building  " 
for  college  purposes,  and  then  the  matter  stopped.  ~No  school 
was  opened  in  the  Institution  under  the  control  of  the  Board 
or  by  its  direction. 

It  was  an  opinion  shared  in  by  many  that  under  the  act  of 
1804  the  Gibson  County  township  was  to  be  considered  as  a 
mere  reservation  of  land,  and  not  a  grant,  and  that  the  act  of 
the  Territorial  Legislature  incorporating  the  Vincennes  Uni- 
versity was  without  authority  of  lawf . 

*  The  teachers  in  the  model  school  were  J.  C.  Smith,  1852-54;  A.  L.  Gilbert,  1854-55;  D. 
Eckley  Hunter,  1855-56,  and  Hiram  Riddile,  1856-57. 

fThis  was  the  view  taken  by  Chief  Justice  Taney,  of  the  U.  S.  Supreme  Court,  on  the 
final  adjudication,  as  appears  from  his  dissenting  opinion  in  14  How.,  27  p. 


62  HISTORY    OF   INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


It  was  further  an  opinion  that  the  enabling  act  of  1810,  un- 
der which  Indiana  was  admitted  into  the  Union,  granted  to  the 
new  State  the  Gibson  County  lands.  But  if  this  were  not  true, 
it  was  argued  that  the  Vincennes  University  had  forfeited  its 

O  f 

charter  by  -non  //>rr;  and  so  the  General  Assembly,  at  the  same 
session  the  act  establishing  the  State  Seminary  was  passed,  ap- 
pointed an  agent  to  rent  the  Gibson  County  lands,  and  account 
for  the  rents  to  the  State.  Two  years  afterward  the  agent  was 
empowered  to  sell  the  lands,  and  proceeds  to  be  appropriated 
to  the  use  of  the  Seminary.  Other  acts  and  laws  were  from 
time  to  time  passed,  all  looking  to  the  same  end ;  and  the  lands 
were  ultimately  sold,  the  proceeds  going  to  swell  the  endow- 
ment fund  of  the  State  Institution. 

Thus  matters  continued  up  to  1838,  when  as  many  of  the  old 
Trustees  of  the  Vincennes  University  as  could  be  got  together 
met  and  reorganized  the  Board  by  the  election  of  officers.  Six 
years  thereafter  they  caused  actions  of  ejectment  to  be  com- 
menced, in  the  Gibson  County  Circuit  Court,  against  occupants 
of  the  land  sold  by  the  State.  These  legal  proceedings  are  said 
to  have  created  great  feeling  throughout  Gibson  County,  and 
the  General  Assembly,  in  1846,  to  relieve  occupants  of  lands 
holding  by  titles  derived  from  the  State,  passed  an  act  author- 
izing one  suit  to  be  brought  against  the  State,  in  the  Marion 
Circuit  Court,  and  providing  further,  that  in  event  the  judg- 
ment should  be  in  favor  of  the  Vincennes  Board,  would  relin- 
quish all  claim  to  so  much  of  the  land  as  the  State  had  sold, 
while  the  State  would  set  apart  to  such  Board  of  Trustees  the 
funds  derived  from  the  sale  of  said  township  of  land,  as,  also, 
the  amount  yet  due  of  unpaid  purchase  money. 

In  accordance  with  this  act  an  action  was  begun  in  the  Ma- 
rion Circuit  Court,  which  resulted  in  a  finding  in  favor  of  the 
Trustees  of  Vincennes  University,  and  fixing  the  amount  of  the 
proceeds  of  the  sales  of  the  lands  sold  by  the  authority  of  the 
State  at  the  sum  of  $30,099.96,  and  judgment  was  entered  ac- 
cordingly. The  case  was  appealed  to  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  State,  and  thence  to  the  Supreme  Court  of  the  United 
States,  and  thence  going  back  again  to  the  Supreme  Court  of 
the  State,  where  a  final  judgment  was  rendered  in  1854,  sus- 
taining the  judgment  of  the  court  below.  The  following  Gen- 
eral Assembly  of  the  State  assuming  the  payment  of  the  debt 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  63 


by  an  act  approved  February  13,  1856,  the  troublesome  ques- 
tion was  forever  put  to  rest,  and  the  endowment  saved  to  the 
State  Institution. 

This  decision  of  the  Court  was  regarded  at  the  time  as  very 
injurious  if  not  ruinous  to  the  Indiana  University.  The  effect 
showed  itself  in  the  diminished  number  of  students,  and  in  the 
general  despondency  produced.*  The  Faculty  at  this  time  co- 
operating with  Dr.  Byors  in  the  management  of  the  Institution 
was  as  follows :  Dr.  Daniel  Read,  Professor  of  Languages. 
Rev.  R.  Milligan,  Professor  of  isTatural  Philosophy  and  Chem- 
istry, to  which  chair  he  had  been  called  on  the  resignation  of 
Professor  Wylie,  who  had  accepted  a  position  in  the  Miami  Uni- 
versity, Oxford,  Ohio.  On  the  transfer  of  Professor  Milligan, 
Professor  M.  M.  Campbell  was  chosen  Adjunct  Professor  of 
Languages  and  Principal  of  Preparatory  Department,  and  Mr.  J. 
Calvin  Smith,  A.  M.,  head  master  of  the  lately  organized  Model 
school,  and  Mr.  James  Woodburn,  a  graduate  of  class  1842,.and 
a  well-known  and  competent  teacher  of  Bloomington,  was  ap- 
pointed acting  Professor  of  Mathematics  and  Civil  Engineering. 
Everything  went  on  as  prosperously  as  could  be  expected  un- 
der the  circumstances  during  the  year  of  President  Ryors'  ad- 
ministration. President  Ryors  resigned  August  3,  1853. 

On  July  31,  a  few  days  before  Dr.  Ryors'  resignation,  Dr. 
William  M.  Daily,  who  was  then  a  member  of  the  Board  ot 
Trustees,  announced  to  the  Board  then  in  session,  that  Governor 
Wright,  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Visitors,  would  be  pleased 
to  confer  with  them  whenever  it  would  suit  their  convenience. 
Dr.  Daily  was  appointed  to  invite  the  Governor  to  meet  with 
them  on  the  following  Monday.  On  the  next  Tuesday  Dr. 
Daily  handed  in  his  resignation  as  Trustee  to  the  Board,  resign- 
ing, as  he  stated,  for  reasons  satisfactory  to  himself.  His  place 
was  immediately  filled  by  the  election  of  Cyrus  L.  Dunham,  of 
Bro\vnstown,  who  happened  to  be  in  town.  On  August  3, 
Governor  Wright  reported  to  the  Board  that  he  had  had  a  con- 
ference for  more  than  an  hour  with  Dr.  Ryors,  and  that  the 
Doctor  had  no  communication  to  make  to  the  Board.  On  the 
evening  of  the  same  day  the  President  of  the  Board  laid  before 
that  body  the  resignations  of  the  following  members  of  the  Fac- 

*But  the  subsequent  action  of  the  Legislature  restored  confidence,  and  the  supposed  dis- 
aster proved  the  beginning  of  a  new  era  of  prosperity. 


64  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

ultv:  Dr.  RYOTS,  President;  "Dr.  Head,  Professor  of  Languages; 

Mr.  Milligaii,  .Professor  of  Xatural  Philosophy.     These  resigna- 
tions were  aceepted. 

The  Board,  on  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Ryors,  passed  the  fol- 
lowing resolution: 

Resolved,  That  Ave  deem  this  a  proper  occasion  to  tender  to 
Dr.  Ryors  assu ranees  of  our  lug-host  respect  for  him  as  a 
scholar,  instructor  and  as  a  Christian  gentleman,  and  that  we 
are  fully  satisfied  with  the  manner  in  flack  he  has  discharged  A/'.s 
duties  as  President  of  the  University  and  as  a  Professor  of  Moral 
(un !  Mental  Philosophy ; 

Revolved,  That  the  Secretary  be  directed  to  furnish  Dr.  Ryors 
a  copy  of  the  foregoing  resolution. 

The  Board  then  proceeded  to  fill  the  vacancies  caused  by 
these  resignations. 

DR.  DAILY'S  ADMINISTRATION. 

On  August  3,  1853,  immediately  after  the  resignation  of  Dr. 
Ryors,  Dr.  William  M.  Daily  was  chosen  President  of  the 
University. 

The  professors  for  the  vacant  chairs  were  then  chosen  rim 
i-of-e.  Dr.  Read  was  elected  Professor  of  Languages ;  Dr.  Ry- 
ors, Professor  of  Mathematics  and  Engineering;  Professor 
Milligan,  Professor  of  Xatural  Philosophy  and  Chemistry. 
Committees  were  appointed  to  inform  these  gentlemen  of  their 
election,  and  in  a  short  time  it  was  reported  that  all  had  ac- 
cepted. But  Dr.  Ryors'  name  does  not  hereafter  appear  as  con- 
nected in  any  way  with  the  University.  At  this  meeting 
Judge  McDonald,  Professor  of  Law,  handed  in  his  resignation. 
The  Board,  after  expressing  their  regret  that  Judge  McDonald 
deemed  it  necessary  to  resign,  elected  Judge  James  Hughes  to 
fill  the  vacancy. 

Professor  Campbell  resigned  April  5,  1854.  On  the  ground 
of  his  long  and  faithful  services  in  the  University,  the  Board 
granted  him  the  privilege  of  sending  his  sons  to  the  University 
free  of  tuition  during  his  natural  life.  On  Professor  Camp- 
bell's resignation,  James  "Woodburn  was  elected  Adjunct  Pro- 
fessor of  Languages  and  Principal  of  the  Preparatory  Depart- 
ment, which  position  he  held  till  his  death,  Sepember  8,  1865. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  65 


The  inauguration  of  Dr.  Daily  was  deferred  till  the  next 
Commencement,  and  Governor  Wright  was  invited  to  deliver 
the  inaugural  charge. 

Everything  went  on  prosperously  till  April  11,  1854,  when 
the  new  college  building,  as  it  was  then  called,  already  re- 
referred  to,  was  burnt.  The  fire  occurring  in  the  night, 
and  during  the  vacation,  when  no  one  was  in  the  building, 
many  of  the  citizens  knew  nothing  of  it  till  the  morning. 
This  destruction  seemed  like  a  death  blow  to  the  Univer- 
sity. Its  small,  though  valuable,  library,  its  chapel,  rec- 
itation rooms,  the  neatly  fitted  up  Philomathean  and  Athenian 
Society  halls,  with  their  libraries  and  furniture,  had  in  the 
course  of  a  few  hours  been  annihilated — nothing  left  but  rub- 
bish and  ashes.  Though  all  connected  with  the  University 
were  distressed  by  this  catastrophe,  they  were  not  disheartened 
or  discouraged.  When  the  question  was  proposed,  "What 
shall  we  do  ?"  the  unanimous  answer  from  Trustees,  Faculty, 
students  and  citizens  was  "  Rebuild,  and  put  the  University  in 
a  better  condition  than  it  ever  was  before."  We  find  in  an  ex- 
cellent address*  delivered  to  the  Philomathean  Society  by  Dr. 
Reed,  August  5,  1856,  about  two  years  after  the  fire,  reference 
made  to  the  conduct  of  the  students  on  that  occasion.. 

The  professor  referred  to  that  esprit  de  corps,  that  community 
of  feeling,  without  which  no  body  of  men  can  be  effective — as 
the  very  life  of  our  colleges,  the  element  of  their  success. 

He  goes  on  to  say :  "  When  that  old  college  building,  un- 
comely in  aspect  though  it  may  have  been,  but  around  which 
clustered  so  many  sacred  associations  ;  when  your  society  halls, 
adorned  with  so  much  taste  from  the  savings  of  your  pocket 
money ;  when  your  society  libraries,  collected  with  so  much 
pains;  when  the  college  library,  were  all  lying  in  the  ashes — 
not  a  book  saved ;  when  dismay  sat  upon  the  countenances  of 
all  good  citizens  in  that  dark  hour,  some  of  you  of  this  Senior 
class  and  of  the  two  preceding  ones,  met  with  a  little  band  of 
other  students  and  sent  forth  to  your  fellow-students,  then  scat- 
tered in  different  parts  of  the  State,  the  rallying  call,  and  soon 
the  response  came  back  from  Lafayette,  from  Terre  Haute,  from 
Evansville,  from  New  Albany  :  '  We  will  to  the  last  stand  by 
our  cherished  alma  mater."3  This  first  gave  the  assurance  ol 
hope  that  all  was  not  lost.

address. 


66  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

Here  follows  an  extract  from  the  appeal  which  this  noble 
band  of  young1  men  sent  forth  to  their  fellow-students.  It  is 
dated  April  12,  1854,  shortly  after  the  tire : 

44  At  a  meeting  of  the  students  remaining  in  Bloomington 
during  the  present  vacation,  a  committee  was  appointed  to  ad- 
dress you  in  relation  to  the  great  calamity  which  has  befallen 
our  beloved  alma  mater. 

"  The  main  University  edifice,  with  the  chapel,  where  we 
have  so  often  met,  and  our  beautiful  society  halls  and  our  libra- 
ries, are  a  smouldering  mass  of  ruins. 

"  It  is  with  sad  hearts  that  we  turn  our  eyes  to  the  blackened 
walls,  where  clusters  so  many  pleasant  recollections  of  the  past. 
You  will,  with  us,  be  deeply  afflicted  by  the  tidings  of  this,  our 
common  misfortune. 

"  But  the  question  arises,  What  shall  we  do  as  students  ? 
We  are'  directed  by  the  unanimous  voice  of  those  at  this  meet- 
ing to  say  to  you,  it  is  our  resolution  to  remain  as  students  of 
Indiana  University.  We  will  never  desert  her  in  this,  her  hour 
of  trial." 

Again,  with  a  prophecy  which  has  proved  reality,  they  say: 

"  We  have  no  doubt  this  calamity  will  be  made  the  beginning 
of  a  greater  prosperity  than  ever  to  the  Indiana  University. 

"Let  us,  fellow-students,  not  be  wanting;  we  can  nowhere 
have  better  advantages.  Let  us  be  present  and  partake  in  the 
energy  and  spirit  which  this  event  awakens.  Come,  and  bring 
with  you  as  many  others  as  possible." 

We  may  safely  say  had  there  not  been  this  esprit  de  corps  of 
the  students,  Trustees,  Faculty  and  citizens,  the  days  of  the 
University  of  Indiana  would  have  been  numbered.  By  the 
Vincennes  suit  the  University  had  lost  nearly  $70,000.  The 
State  had  not  yet  assumed  this  loss ;  its  main  college  building 
had  been  burnt,  and  the  land  .grant  made  in  February  23, 1854, 
was  not  yet  available,  and  we  believe  was  very  far  from  cover- 
ing the  loss  sustained.  These  calamities  almost  simultaneously 
crowding  upon  the  University  were  enough  to  discourage  and 
destroy  all  hopes  of  resuscitation.  But  the  Trustees,  at  their 
meeting  not  long  after  the  fire  (April  27,  1854),  showed  that 
they  were  neither  discouraged  or  disheartened.  Among  their 
first  acts  was  that  there  should  be  a  Building  Committee  to 
superintend  the  reconstruction  of  the  main  college  edifice,  to 
consist :  First,  a  part  of  the  Board,  of  Messrs.  John  I.  Mor-

rison,  Thomas  M.  Adams,  Johnson  McCullough;  secondly,  of 

the  Faculty,  of  President  Daily,  Professors  Rend  and  Milligan, 
and  of  the  citizens,  John  Orchard,  tteqolvedi  further,  As  soon 
as  the  plan  of  the  building  is  determined  upon,  and  the  citizens 
of  Bloomingtoj)  and  others  have  made  a  subscription  of  ten 
thousand  dollars,  and  tendered  the  same  to  the  Hoard  through 
their  committee,  the  Building  Committee  shall  immediately 
make  contracts  for  building,  and  shall  select  a  competent  super- 
intendent. The  cost  of  the  new  building  was  not  to  exceed 
eighteen  thousand  dollars ;  the  President  of  the  Board  was  to 
find  a  competent  architect,  which  he  did ;  the  services  of  Mr. 
W.  Tinsley  were  secured  for  this  purpose,  and  his  proposed 
plan  and  elevation  adopted. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  on  April  27,  1854,  a  committee 
was  appointed  to  prepare  a  scheme  of  scholarships.  This  com- 
mittee, consisting  of  Messrs.  Jenckes,  McPheeters  and  Malott, 
made  their  report.  The  scholarships  were  so  arranged  that 
those  paying  one  hundred  dollars  were  entitled  to  a  perpetual 
scholarship  in  the  Preparatory  and  Academical  Departments ; 
those  paying  fifty  dollars  had  in  the  same  departments  a  schol- 
arship for  four  years,  and  those  paying  twenty-five  dollars  a 
scholarship  for  two  years.  The  subscriptions  that  had  been 
made  by  the  citizens,  or  should  hereafter  be  made,  were  made 
convertible  into  scholarships.  Money  was  borrowed  and  prop- 
erty mortgaged,  and  the  building,  considering  time  and  place, 
was  completed  within  a  reasonable  time.  It  was  expected  to 
hold  the  Commencement  August,  1855,  in  the  new  building, 
but  by  some  delay  they  were  disappointed.  The  first  Com- 
mencement in  it  took  place  August  6,  1856,  and  the  whole 
building  finished  was  formally  dedicated  November  30,  1856, 
by  President  Daily. 

During  the  first  two  or  three  years  of  the  Presidency  of  Dr. 
Daily  there  were  many  changes  in  the  Faculty.  The  College, 
however,  flourished,  increasing  in  numbers  and  popularity. 
The  President  was  indefatigable  in  his  efforts  to  rebuild  and 
maintain  the  standing  of  the  University. 

Professor  Milligan  resigned  July,  1854,  on  account  of  sick- 
ness in  his  family,  much  to  the  regret  of  his  associates  in  the 
Faculty  and  the  citizens  generally.  General  Ammen,  at  that 
time  Professor  in  Bacon  College,  Kentucky,  was  elected  to  suc- 
ceed Professor  Milligan.  Professor  Ammen  accepted,  but  re-

mained  only  a  short  time  and  then  returned  to  Georgetown, 
Kentucky.  In  1854,  Professor  Elislia  Haliantine,  of  Ohio  Uni- 
versity, was  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics,  and  on  April  2S, 
his  letter  of  acceptance  was  received  by  the  Board.  Professor 
Uallantine  succeeded  Professor  Milligan,  who  had  been  trans- 
ferred from  the  chair  of  Mathematics  to  the  chair  of  Xatural 
Philosophy,  on  the  resignation  of  Professor  Wylie.  At  a  called 
meeting  of  the  Board  April,  1855,  Professor  Wylie,  then  Pro- 
fessor in  Miami  University,  was  recalled  to  his  former  position, 
vacated  by  the  resignation  of  Professor  Ammen.  The  valuable 
donation  of  books  made  by  Mr.  Henry  W.  Derby,  a  well- 
known  bookseller  and  publisher  of  Cincinnati,  by  which  the 
loss  of  the  small  but  valuable  library,  lately  destroyed  by  fire, 
was  almost  replaced,  is  worthy  of  grateful  mention.  President 
Daily  received  from  him  the  following  letter : 

"  SEPTEMBER  25,  1855. 
"Rev.    Wm.  M.  Daily,  D.  D.,  President  of  Indiana    CT/f/'/v/ >•////. 

"  DEAR  SIR — Upon  a  recent  visit  to  Bloomington,  the  calam- 
ity which  had  befallen  the  University  in  the  total  destruction 
of  its  library,  was  brought  to  my  attention.  In  aid  of  repair- 
ing a  loss  so  serious  to  an  institution  of  learning,  I  beg  you  to 
select  from  our  general  catalogue  of  books  to  the  amount  of 
fifteen  hundred  dollars,  which  are  hereby  placed  to  your  order. 

"Respectfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

"H.  W.  DERBY." 


The  Faculty  on  receipt  of  this  letter,  passed  the  following 
resolution  :  "  The  thanks  of  the  Faculty  is  hereby  tendered  to 
Mr.  Derby  for  this  generous  and  timely  gift,  the  first  of  its  kind 
made  to  the  University  since  the  great  calamity  in  the  destruc- 
tion of  its  library.  It  was  also  directed  that  when  the  new 
library  should  he  fitted  up,  there  should  be  a  special  alcove  de- 
voted to  its  reception."  The  books  were  selected  principally  by 
Drs.  Daily  and  Read  and  all  labeled,  "  The  Derby  Donation." 
A  valuable  donation  of  law-books,  made  by  a  citizen  of  Fort 
Wayne,  W.  H.  Jones,  Esq.,  is  also  worthy  of  honorable  men- 
tion. The  exact  number  is  not  remembered,  but  it  was  not  less 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  69 

than  two  hundred.  Many  of  them  were  folios,  some  running 
back  to  the  reign  of  Charles  I,  nearly  all  referring  to  old  Eng- 
lish laws.* 

Dr.  Read,  Professor  of  Languages,  presented  his  resignation 
December  4,  1855.  During  his  connection  wkh  the  University, 
his  diplomacy  and  energy,  particularly  during  the  troubles 
arising  from  law-suits  and  the  burning  of  the  main  building  of 
the  University,  together  with  his  excellence  as  a  scholar  and 
teacher,  called  forth  from  the  Board  a  strong  expression  of  re- 
gret and  an  earnest  request  from  the  Board  that  he  would  re- 
main at  least  another  year  in  the  University.  Dr.  Read  con- 
sented to  remain.  Professor  Butler,  of  Wabash  College,  who 
had  been  elected  Dr.  Read's  successor,  did  not  accept,  and  Pro- 
fessor Ballantine  was  transferred  from  the  chair  of  Mathematics 
to  that  of  Languages.  At  this  juncture,  the  name  of  Professor 
Daniel  Kirkwood,  then  President  of  Newark  College,  Delaware, 
was  presented  for  the  chair  of  Mathematics.  He  accepted  arid 
thus  all  vacancies  were  filled.  Professor  Kirkwood  did  not  take 
his  place  as  a  member  of  the  Faculty  till  the  last  day  of  October, 
1856,  the  preceding  part  of  the  term  being  filled  satisfactorily 
by  the  temporary  appointment  of  the  Rev.  Henry  W.  Ballantine, 
now  of  Orange,  New  Jersey. 

After  the  vacancies  in  the  Faculty  had  been  thus  satisfacto- 
rily filled  the  number  of  students  gradually  increased,  and  all 
things  went  on  harmoniously  to  the  close  of  Dr.  Daily's 
Presidency. 

On  account  of  some  untoward  circumstances,  resulting  in  a 
trial  in  an  ecclesiastical  court,  in  which  charges  were  brought 
against  Dr.  Daily,  and  a  popular  clamor  excited,  which  he 
feared  might  be  injurious  to  the  University,  he  handed  in  his 
resignation,  January  27,  1859,  which  was  accepted,  and  the  fol- 
lowing resolutions  passed : 

"  Resolved,  In  view  of  the  constant  and  untiring  services  ren- 
dered by  Dr.  Daily  to  the  University,  out  of  the  proper  sphere 
of  his  official  duty,  and  made  necessary  by  the  calamity  to 
which  it  was  subjected  by  the  destruction  of  its  building  and 
library,  and  the  embarrassments  resulting  therefrom,  he  be,  and 
is  hereby  allowed  the  sum  of  seven  hundred  dollars  in  addition 
to  his  regular  salary,  in  full  of  such  services." 

*This  very  valuable  collection  of  law-books  of  the  17th  and  18th  centuries,  together  with 
the  extensive  collection  of  the  University,  were  totally  lost  in  the  fire  of  1883. 

6— HISTORY. 


70  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

"  Resolved,  That  it  is  due  to  Dr.  Daily  to  say  that  during  the 
time  of  his  connection  with  the  University  his  administration 
thereof  has  met  with  our  warmest  and  most  cordial  appro- 
bation." 

Soon  after,  by  a*  resolution  of  the  Board,  Prof.  T.  A.  Wylie 
was  directed  to  act  as  temporary  President,  and  the  Faculty  was 
authorized  to  employ  such  assistance  as  may  be  necessary,  and 
within  their  means. 

The  exercises  of  the  University  were  conducted  as  usual  after 
the  resignation  of  its  late  President.  About  a  dozen  of  the 
students,  who  were  much  attached  to  him,  withdrew  from  the 
University,  having  called  for  honorable  dismissals,  which  were 
granted.  Indeed,  nearly  all  the  students  were  very  much  at- 
tached to  the  retiring  President  on  the  ground  of  his  kindly 
disposition,  and  the  interest  he  took  in  their  welfare.  It  was 
widely  circulated  at  this  time  that  the  University  was  fast  fall- 
ing into  ruins,  and  soon  there  would  be  nothing  of  it  left. 
Notwithstanding  these  predictions  and  efforts,  stimulated  by 
repeated  visits  of  the  ex-President,  his  friends  within  and  with- 
out the  University  did  not  succeed  in  accomplishing  their 
object.  With  rather  more  than  ordinary  manifestations  of 
disorder  and  insubordination  the  storm  was  weathered,  the 
commencement  came,  the  degrees  were  conferred,  and  the  Bac- 
calaureate address  delivered  by  the  acting  President.*  During 
the  last  half  of  the  college  year  (1858-59)  the  Rev.  Caleb  Blood, 
A.  M.,  wras  appointed  by  the  Faculty  pro  tern.  Professor  of 
Mental  and  Moral  Philosophy  and  Belles  Lett  res,  which  posi- 
tion he  filled  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  concerned,  Messrs.  Noah 
S.  Given,  A.  B.,  and  William  T.  Moffett,  A.  B.,  giving  general 
assistance  as  tutors. 


THE    PRESIDENCY    OF    DR.    LATHROP. 

On  July  13, 1859,  John  H.  Lathrop,  LL.  D.,  was  elected  Pres- 
ident of  the  University.  As  the  records  of  the  University  after 
this  date  were  destroyed  by  fire  in  1883,  what  remains  to  bo 
presented  will  depend  on  the  annual  reports,  the  Faculty  min- 
utes from  1859  to  the  present  time,  printed  documents  of  va- 

*The  number  of  the  students  as  given  in  the  catalogue  for  the  years  1859  and  1860  are  231 
and  203.  Leaving  out  the  Law  Department,  which  was  not  so  much  interested  in  these 
matters,  the  reduction  in  numbers  was  only  11. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  71 

rious  kinds,  and  memory.  Dr.  Lathrop  took  his  seat  as  Presi- 
dent of  the  University  September  20,  1859.  At  this  time  the 
turbulent  spirit  of  the  preceding  year  had  disappeared,  and  a 
good  spirit  among  the  students  generally  prevailed.  The  Fac- 
ulty, with  the  exception  of  the  President,  Professor  Blood  and 
the  tutors,  remained  the  same  as  in  the  preceding  year.  Pro- 
fessor Henry  Bascom  Hibben,  A.  M.,  had,  at  the  last  meeting 
of  the  Board  in  1859,  been  elected  Professor  of  Logic,  Rhetoric 
arid  Belles  Lettres.  He  took  his  seat  as  member  of  the  Faculty 
January  6,  1860.  Messrs.  Charles  Campbell,  A.  B.,  John  H. 
Wilson  and  James  C.  Elliott  were  tutors,  and  Professor  E. 
Marquis,  Instructor  in  German,  French  and  Hebrew.  Dr. 
Lathrop  delivered  his  Baccalaureate  July  6,  1860.  A  few  days 
after,  July  11,  the  inauguration  of  the  President  took  place. 
Governor  Willard,  his  friend  and  former  pupil,  delivered  the 
address  of  investiture,  and  Dr.  Lathrop  his  inaugural,  and  be- 
fore the  adjournment  of  the  Board,  then  in  session,  Dr.  Lathrop 
resigned,  having  been  connected  with  the  college  only  one  year. 
He  accepted  an  invitation  to  a  professorship  in  Missouri  Uni- 
versity, of  which  he  had  been  the  first  President,  serving  there 
from  1842  to  1849,  and  then  leaving  because  his  views  on  the 
slavery  question,  which  then  was  becoming  a  prominent  subject 
in  the  political  field,  did  not  harmonize  with  the  popular  sen- 
timent of  that  community.. 


THE    PRESIDENCY    OF    DR.    CYRUS    NUTT. 

Soon  after  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Lathrop,  and  before  the 
Board  had  adjourned  its  annual  meeting,  Dr.  Cyrus  Nutt,  of 
Greencastle,  was  elected  President.  The  President-elect  first 
met  the  Faculty,  August  16, 1860,  and  arrangements  were  made 
for  general  college  work  during  the  next  term.  It  was  not  till 
June  7,  1861,  that  his  inauguration  took  place,  Governor 
Oliver  P.  Morton  making  the  address  of  investiture,  and  Dr. 
Nutt  delivering  his  inaugural. 

Dr.  !N"utt  entered  upon  his  duties  amid  favorable  circum- 
stances. In  1860  the  number  in  the  four  regular  classes  (not 
counting  the  law  students  and  Preparatory  Department)  was 
99;  in  1861,  112;  in  1863,  reaching  the  minimum,  67;  then 
gradually  rising  till,  in  1869,  the  number  was  182. 


72  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

In  1860  the  Faculty  consisted  of  the  following  persons :  Dr. 
Nutt,  President;  Professors  Ballantine,  Wylie,  Kirkwood, 
Woodburn ;  Judge  Bryant,  Professor  of  Law;  H.  B.  Hibben, 
lately  elected  Professor  of  English  Language  and  Literature, 
and  E.  Marquis,  Professor  of  Modern  Languages  and  Litera- 
ture. 

By  a  law  approved  May  11,  1861,  the  State  Geologist,  while 
he  holds  his  office,  was  made  a  member  of  the  Faculty  of  the 
University,  and  was  directed  to  collect  duplicate  specimens  of 
mineralogy  and  geology  in  his  reconnoissances  of  the  State, 
and  deposit  one  set  of  the  same  in  the  cabinet  of  the  State 
University.  Professor  Richard  Owen  was  the  first  to  receive 
this  honorary  appointment,  and  Professor  E.  T.  Cox  succeeded 
him  as  State  Geologist  and  as  a  member  of  the  Faculty. 

At  the  close  of  the  year  1861  Professor  H.  B.  Hibben  re- 
signed his  professorship  and  entered  the  army  as  a  Chaplain. 
In  1854  he  was  appointed  Chaplain  in  the  Navy  by  President 
Lincoln,  which  position  he  still  (1887)  holds. 

In  1863  Colonel  Richard  Owen,  of  New  Harmony,  then  in 
the  army,  was  elected  to  the  Chair  of  Natural  Philosophy  and 
Chemistry.  In  the  same  year  Professor  E.  Ballantine  resigned, 
having  accepted  the  position  of  Department  Secretary  of  the 
American  Board  of  Foreign  Missions,  and  Professor  M.  M. 
Campbell,  formerly  Adjunct  Professor  of  Languages,  was  in- 
vited by  .the  resident  members  of  the  Board  to  take  the  va- 
cated place  pro  tern.  At  the  next  meeting  of  the  Board,  Pro- 
fessor James  D.  Butler,  of  Wisconsin  University,  was  again 
invited  to  the  vacant  chair.  He,  however,  declined.  The  chair 
of  Languages  being  thus  vacated,  Professor  Wylie  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  same,  and  Professor  Owen  was  made  Professor 
of  Physics  and  Chemistry.  This  arrangement  continued  till 
1868. 

In  1866  Professor  Kirkwood  accepted  the  Professorship  of 
Mathematics  and  Astronomy  in  Washington  and  Jeiferson  Col- 
lege, Pensylvania,  and  Prof.  Cyrus  M.  Dodd,  then  of  Washing- 
ton and  Jefferson  College,  was  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics 
in  Indiana  University.  The  next  year  Professor  Kirkwood  re- 
turned to  Bloomington  and  resumed  his  former  position  in  the 
University,  and  Professor  Ballantine  returning  about  the  same 
time,  was  elected  Professor  of  Greek  Language  and  Literature, 
and  Prof.  C.  M.  Dodd  of  the  Latin  Language  and  Literature. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  73 

The  Department  of  Ancient  Languages  being  thus  filled,  Pro- 
fessor "Wylie  was  made  Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy,  and 
Dr.  Owen,  Professor  of  Natural  Science  and  Chemistry. 

In  1867  a  Professorship  of  English  Literature  arid  the  Theory 
and  Practice  of  Teaching  was  established,  and  in  1868  the  Hon. 
Geo.  "W.  Hoss,  late  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction,  was 
elected  to  that  chair,  and  entered  upon  his  duties  in  the  follow- 
ing year,  1869.  In  1871  Professor  Hoss  accepted  a  position  as 
President  of  the  Kansas  Normal  School,  in  Emporia.  In  1871 
he  was  recalled  to  Indiana  University,  to  the  Professorship  of 
English  Literature  and  Elocution,  which  he  occupied  till  1880. 

Among  the  interesting  events  occurring  during  the  admin- 
istration of  Dr.  Nutt  were  the  efforts  made  by  the  President, 
and  other  friends  of  the  University,  to  locate  the  Agricultural 
College  in  Bloomington,  in  connection  with  the  Indiana  Uni- 
versity. 

'By  an  act  of  Congress,  of  July  .2,  1862,  public  lands  belong- 
ing to  the  United  States  were  donated  to  the  several  States  and 
Territories  which  may  provide  colleges  for  the  benefit  of  agri- 
culture and  the  mechanic  arts.  This  national  grant  was  ac- 
cepted by  Indiana,  March  6,  1865,  and  a  Board  of  Trustees, 
with  corporate  name  of  the  Trustees  of  the  Indiana  Agricul- 
tural College,  was  organized.  Governor  Morton  was  ex  qfficio 
President.  This  Board  received  the  land  scrip  of  390,000  acres, 
and  sold  it  for  $212,238.50,  April  9,  1867.  By  careful  manage- 
ment, this  fund  was  increased  to  $340,000,  and  invested  in  non- 
negotiable  State  bonds  bearing  5  per  cent,  interest,  to  be  paid 
quarterly. 

This  was  the  prize  for  which  the  Indiana  University  con- 
tended. The  cause  of  the  University  was  ably  advocated  by 
many  of  its  friends.  Among  others,  President  Nutt  presented 
its  plea  very  forcibly  to  the  Legislature,  and  also  in  a  lecture 
delivered  in  fifteen  counties  in  southern  Indiana.  A  synopsis 
of  this  lecture  is  given  in  the  annual  report  of  the  University, 
made  in  the  college  year  1865—66. 

The  conditions  of  the  grant  were : 

1.  That  at  least  one  college  must  be  organized,  the  leading 
object  of  which  should  be  to  teach  such  branches  of  learning  as 
are  related  to  agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts. 

2.  If  any  portion  of  the  fund,  principal  or  interest,  be  lost, 
it  shall  be  replaced  by  the  State. 


74  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


3.  No  portion  of  said  fund,  nor  the  interest  thereon  shall  be 
applied  directly  or  indirectly,  under  any  pretense  whatever,  to 
the  purchase,  erection,  preservation,  or  repair  of  any  building 
or  buildings. 

4.  The  State  shall  provide  within  live  years,  not  less  than 
one  college  as  described  above. 

Three  plans  were  proposed  for  the  disposition  of  this  impor- 
tant trust : 

1.  The  endowment  of  agricultural  departments  in  some  five 
of  the  leading  colleges  of  the  State,  including  a  central  institu- 
tion of  research  at  Indianapolis. 

2.  The  founding  of  a  separate  Agricultural  College. 

3.  The  establishment  of  an  Indiana  State  Agricultural  Col- 
lege in  connection  with  the  Indiana  University. 

President  Nutt  showed  very  conclusively  the  impracticability 
of  the  first  method  proposed,  the  uselessness  of  the  second, 
since  the  Indiana  University  was  ready  to  carry  out  at  once  the 
conditions  of  the  original  grant,  since  the  whole  property  of 
the  University  thus  becomes  subsidary  to  the  State  Agricultural 
College.  By  the  union  of  the  endowment  of  the  Agricultural 
College  with  that  of  the  State  University,  the  wrhole  endow- 
ment would  be  about  $500,000,  and  would  thus  make  an  insti- 
tution of  wThich  the  State  might  be  justly  proud.  These 
arguments  had  their  weight,  and  all  omens  were  favorable  as  to 
the  location  of  the  Agricultural  College  in  Bloomington,  till 
the  last  day  of  the  meeting  of  the  Legislature.  But  the  gift 
of  Mr.  Purdue  of  $150,000,  and  the  donation  of  one  hundred 
acres  of  land  appurtenant  to  the  site  of  the  Institution,  by  the 
citizens  of  Chauncey,  and  $50,000  from  Tippecanoe,  outweighed 
the  proffered  offer  of  the  Indiana  University,  and  located  the 
Agricultural  College  in  Lafayette,  which,  though  not  located 
in  Monroe  County,  is  in  conjunction  with  the  Normal  at  Terre 
Haute  and  Indiana  University  at  Bloomington,  a  part  of  the 
University  system  of  the  State.

THE    ADMISSION    OF    FEMALES    TO    THE    UNIVERSITY. 

A  change  in  a  long  established  custom  with  regard  to  the 
admission  of  females  to  all  the  privileges  of  the  University  was 
made  in  the  college  year  1867-68.  In  the  preceding  year,  Mr. 
Jenkinson,  then  of  Allen  County,  a  member  of  the  Board  of 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  75 

Trustees,  offered  a  resolution  to  admit  females  to  the  same 
studies  and  the  same  standing  as  the  males.  For  some  time 
before  this,  the  subject,  "the  coeducation  of  the  sexes,"  had 
been  agitated  in  various  educational  conventions,  and  Mr.  Jen- 
kinsori  was  a  strong  advocate  in  its  favor.  Cooperating  with 
others  like-minded,  he  had  been  instrumental  in  opening  the 
Fort  Wayne  Female  College  to  males.  The  other  members  of 
the  University  Board  were  not  prepared  for  the  innovation  ; 
no  member  but  himself  approved  of  the  resolution  presented. 
At  a  subsequent  meeting,  Judge  Rhoads  offered  a  substitute 
for  this  resolution  of  Mr.  Jenkinson,  proposing  to  admit  fe- 
males to  partial  rights  and  privileges,  but  this  was  not  agreed 
to  by  the  Board.  The  original  resolution  was  then  pressed, 
and  about  the  same  time  a  petition  was  presented  by  Miss 
Sarah  P.  Morrison,  asking  that  the  law  of  the  University 
should  be  so  changed  that  females,  with  regard  to  their  studies 
and  privileges,  should  be  put  on  the  same  footing  as  the  males. 
This  request  of  Miss  Morrison,  coming  when  the  question  was 
before  the  Board,  had,  without  doubt,  influence  in  the  Board's 
deciding  in  favor  of  Mr.  Jenkinson's  resolution.  The  motion, 
however,  was  carried  only  by  a  majority  of  one;  four  in  favor, 
three  against  it.  Miss  Morrison,  who  knew  nothing  of  the 
agitation  of  this  question  by  the  Board,  received  a  reply  to  her 
petition  that  the  laws  of  the  University  with  regard  to  this 
matter  required  no  change,  and  that  its  doors,  with  all  its  rights 
and  privileges,  were  open  to  females.  Miss  Morrison  then  en- 
tered the  Sophomore  Class  at  the  beginning  of  the  next  year, 
1868-9,  and  about  nine  weeks  after  a  number  of  young  ladies 
entered  the  Freshman  Class,  and  before  the  end  of  the  second 
term  there  were  twelve  female  students. 

\Ve  are  not  aware  that  any  college  before  the  year  1866,  had 
admitted  both  sexes  to  the  privileges,  excepting  Oberlin  Uni- 
versity, Ohio,  and  the  Fort  Wayne  Female  College,  the  former  of 
which,  as  early  as  1837,  had  the  courage,  in  the  face  of  pub- 
lic opinion,  to  open  its  halls  to  all  the  children  of  men  without 
regard  to  sex  or  color.  In  the  year  1868-9,  the  -number  of  fe- 
male students  was  about  ten  per  cent,  of  the  whole  number  of 
the  students  in  the  four  college  classes.  In  1886  the  number  of 
female  students  is  about  thirty-three  per  cent. 


76  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 


THE  CONNECTION  BETWEEN  THE  COMMON  SCHOOLS  AND  THE  UNIVERSITY. 

It  is  evident  that  the  trainers  of  the  first  Constitution  of  In- 
diana contemplated  a  system  of  education  which  should  em- 
brace the  lowest  and  highest  degrees  of  mental  training.  They 
had  received  from  the  General  Government  a  large  grant  of  land, 
the  sixteenth  section  in  each  township,  for  the  establishment  of 
common  schools,  and  a  township  of  land  in  Monroe  County  for 
a  State  Seminary  of  learning.  In  the  old  Constitution  of  the 
State,  adopted  when  Corydon  was  the  capital,  in  the  year  1816, 
we  have  in  Article  IX,  section  2,  these  words :  "  It  shall  be 
the  duty  of  the  General  Assembly,  as  soon  as  circumstances  per- 
mit, to  provide  by  law  for  a  general  system  of  education,  as- 
cending in  regular  gradation  from  the  township  school  to  a 
State  University,  wherein  tuition  shall  be  gratis  and  open  to 
all."  In  the  preceding  section  it  is  said  that  the  "  General  As- 
sembly shall  pass  such  laws  as  shall  be  calculated  to  encourage 
intellectual,  scientincal  and  agricultural  improvement,  and  en- 
courage the  principles  of  humanity,  industry  and  morality." 
In  the  new  Constitution,  adopted  February  10,  1851,  Article 
VIII,  the  educational  system  seems  to  be  limited  to  the  com- 
mon schools,  the  University  being  altogether  ignored.  But  in 
1852  amends  were  made  for  this  omission,  by  the  passing  of  an 
act  with  reference  to  the  University,  reading  as  follows : 

"  SECTION  I.  Be  it  enacted  by  the  General  Assembly  of  the  State 
of  Indiana:  The  Institution  established  by  an  act  entitled, 
An  act  to  establish  a  college  in  the  State  of  Indiana,  approved 
January  28,  1828,  is  hereby  recognized  as  the  University  of  the 
State."  This  of  course  sanctions  the  idea  that  the  Indiana 
University  is  at  the  head  of  the  educational  system  of  the  State, 
and  authorizes  the  action  of  the  State  Board  of  Education, 
taken  May  5,  1873,  as  follows : 

"  Resolved,  That  the  State  Board  of  Education  recommend 
the  Trustees  and  Faculty  of  the  Indiana  University,  in  order  to 
unite  the  high  schools  of  the  State  and  the  University  more 
closely  together,  to  so  modify  the  Preparatory  course  of  study 
as  to  admtt  students  to  the  Freshman  class  without  the  knowl- 
edge of  Greek,  putting  in  place  thereof  an  equivalent  in  the 
increased  amount  of  Mathematics  and  Science." 

At  a  meeting  of  the  superintendents  and  principals  of  schools 
of  four  hundred  or  more  pupils,  held  in  Indianapolis,  May  7, 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  77 

1873,  for  the  consideration  of  matters  pertaining  to  the  welfare 
of  the  schools,  the  question,  "How  to  harmonize  the  High 
School  and  University  courses  of  instruction,"  elicited  consid- 
erable discussion.  The  following  resolutions  were  thereupon 
unanimously  adopted : 

"Resolved,  That  we,  the  members  of  the  Convention  of  Su- 
perintendents of  the  High  Schools  of  the  State,  respectfully 
represent  that  we  fully  approve  the  plan  of  uniting  the  high 
schools  with  the  University  by  the  method  proposed,  viz. : 
That  the  high  schools  shall  prepare  pupils  in  orthography, 
arithmetic,  English  grammar,  geography,  physiology,  United 
States  history,  algebra,  geometry,  Latin  grammar,  C?esar,  and 
Virgil,  which  shall  admit  them  to  the  Freshman  class  without 
the  necessity  of  preparing  them  in  the  study  of  Greek,  and 
that  the  study  of  the  advanced  mathematics  be  considered  as 
an  equivalent  for  the  additional  amount  of  Greek  now  required 
for  admission. 

"Resolved,  That  Mr.  Gow  present  these  resolutions  to  the 
Trustees  of  the  University,  at  their  meeting  in  June,  as  the  ex- 
pression of  our  views." 

These  resolutions  having  been  presented,  it  was  "  ordered  by 
the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Indiana  University,  that  the  mini-  " 
mum  standard  of  admission  to  the  Freshman  class  in  the  Uni- 
versity shall  be  a  creditable  examination  in  orthography, 
reading,  geography,  English  grammar,  United  States  history, 
composition,  word  analysis,  physiology,  algebra,  geometry, 
Latin  grammar,  Latin  prose  composition,  Csesar  and  Virgil  or 
their  equivalents." 

"  Second,  In  order  to  bring  the  University  into  closer  con- 
nection with  the  high  schools  of  the  State,  we  recommend  the 
following  plan:  'A  certificate  from  certain  high  schools  (the 
schools  to  be  hereafter  named  by  the  State  Board  of  Educa- 
tion) of  a  satisfactory  examination,  sustained  in  the  Prepara- 
tory course,  will  entitle  the  bearer  to  admittance  to  the  Freshman 
class,  and  no  one  will  be  admitted  as  a  student  in  the  Univer- 
sity (except  those  admitted  to  select  studies  or  on  special 
examination)  without  such  certificate  from  the  authorities  of 
the  high  schools.' " 

This  arrangement  immediately  went  into  effect,  and  twenty- 
one  high  schools  in  different  parts  of  the  State  are  mentioned 
as  designated  and  commissioned  by  the  State  Board  to  prepare 


78  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

and  examine  students  for  admission  to  the  Freshman  class. 
The  part  of  this  arrangement  that  Greek  should  not  be  re- 
quired for  entrance  into  the  Freshman  class  was  quite  an 
innovation,  and  was  regarded  by  many  scholars  and  literary 
institutions  throughout  the  State  with  great  disfavor,  and  as 
lowering  the  college  standard  and  a  step  downward  and  back- 
ward. No  evil  seems,  however,  to  have  resulted  from  it ;  the 
Professor  of  Greek,  the  late  Professor  Ballantine,  found  that  in  a 
year  after  the  change  had  been  made  he  had  the  scholars  as  far 
advanced  as  under  the  old  arrangement.  This  may  be  ascribed 
to  the  better  and  more  uniform  training  in  elementary  instruc- 
tion under  the  Professor  himself  than  the  pupil  had  under  differ- 
ent instructors,  some  better  and  some  worse,  and  each  having  his 
own  peculiarities.  The  same  may  be  said  with  regard  to  this 
innovation  under  the  instruction  of  the  present  Professor  of 
Greek,  Mr.  Hoffman.  * 

In  1868  the  military  department  of  the  University  was  re- 
vived. In  Lieutenant  (now  General)  Ammeirs  day,  a  military 
company  of  the  students  was  formed — this  was  in  the  years 
1839-42 — and  for  a  time,  drilled  every  afternoon  in  the  week, 
except  Saturday  and  Sunday.  On  General  Ammen's  resigning 
in  1842,  the  military  exercises  were  soon  after  discontinued.  It 
was  not  till  1869  that  the  military  department  was  put  in  work- 
ing order,  when  arrangements  were  made  for  instruction  in  mil- 
itary science,  and  also  for  company  and  battalion  drill.  In  this 
department,  tactics,  out-post  duty,  military  engineering,  and 
science  of  war,  were  to  be  taught ;  arms  and  accoutrements 
were  obtained  and  Major  General  Eli  Long  was  detailed  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States  as  Military  Professor  in  the  LTni- 
versity.  General  Long  occupied  this  position  only  for  a  year. 
He  was  recalled  by  the  War  Department  from  his  position  in 
the  University  and  from  the  work  so  auspiciously  commenced. 
The  University  was  fortunate  in  securing  the  service  of  Colonel 
James  Thompson,  formerly  Assistant  Professor  of  Mathematics 
in  West  Point,  as  Professor  of  Military  Science  and  Engineer- 
ing, by  whom  this  department  was  carried  on  with  consider- 
able spirit  for  two  or  three  years.  It  so  happened  that  many 
of  the  students  of  the  military  class,  who  lived  at  a  consider- 
able distance  from  the  College,  found  it  very  inconvenient  to 
attend  the  drill,  and  obtained  permission  to  withdraw.  While 
the  militarv  ardor  was  thus  weakened,  the  zeal  of  the  students 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  79 

took  a  new  direction ;  the  class  of  civil  engineering  was  en- 
larged, and  soon  the  military  feature  of  Colonel  Thompson's 
professorship  became  less  and  less  prominent,  while  engineer- 
ing, mechanical  drawing,  the  construction  of  bridges,  practical 
surveying,  etc.,  became  more  and  more  popular.  In  1875  the 
military  features  of  this  department  altogether  disappeared,  and 
it  became  the  department  of  civil  engineering.  This,  all  the 
scientific  students  were  required  to  attend.  There  was  an  effort 
made  by  the  Trustees  about  this  time  to  establish  a  gymnasium  ; 
an  appropriation  was  made  to  erect  a  building  for  this  purpose 
in  the  college  campus ;  but  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  not  long 
after,  it  was  thought  that  the  money  could  be  put  to  a  better 
use,  and  the  former  action  of  the  Board  was  rescinded. 

THE    MEDICAL    DEPARTMENT. 

In  the  Annual  Report  of  1870  mention  is  made  among  the 
wants  of  the  University,  of  a  gymnasium,  and  also  another  pro- 
fessional school — that  of  medicine — in  which  tuition  shall  be 
free  for  all.  The  Indiana  Medical  College,  at  Indianapolis,  was, 
at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  in  1871,  made  the  Medical  Department 
of  Indiana  University,  and  in  the  Report  for  1872,  this  Depart- 
ment appears  as  a  part  of  its  working _  force.  The  College 
building  at  Indianapolis  had  the  appliances  necessary  for  the 
different  branches  of  the  medical  course.  It  had  also  access  to 
the  City  Hospital,  and  all  the  opportunities  necessary  for  teach- 
ing clinical  medicine  and  surgery.  There  was  also  attached  to 
the  College  a  dispensary  where  gratuitous  professional  services 
were  rendered,  enabling  the  students  to  witness  and  take  part 
in  the  management  of  such  cases  as  presented  themselves. 

THE    OWEN    COLLECTION. 

The  appliances  for  instruction  in  physics,  chemistry  and  nat- 
ural science,  were  up  to  the  year  1872,  very  meagre;  the  Trus- 
•tees,  always  willing  to  go  as  far  as  their  means  would  allow, 
were  enabled  by. the  grants  made  by  the  Legislature  in  1867 
and  1873,  to  put  these  departments,  requiring  so  much  and  such 
expensive  apparatus,  on  a  much  better  footing  than  they  ever 
had  been  before.  In  1870,  the  large  and  extensive  cabinet  of 
the  distinguished  geologist,  the  late  David  Dale  Owen,  M.  D.,  of 


80  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

New  Harmony,  was  offered  for  sale,  and  purchased  by  the  Uni- 
versity. The  terms  were  made  so  favorable  that  the  University 
was  without  difficulty  able  to  purchase  it.  The  negotiation  with 
the  family  of  the  late  Dr.  D.  I).  Owen,  was  made  by  Professor 
B.  E.  Rhoads  and  Dr.  II.  Cloud,  and  the  collection  was  packed 
and  sent  to  Bloomington.  It  tilled  several  cars.  There  was  no 
room  for  it  in  the  then  existing  buildings,  and  all  that  could  be 
done  was  to  hire  a  ware-room  and  store  it  away.  To  utilize  it, 
rendered  the  erection  of  another  building  indispensable. 

When  it  was  determined  that  a  new  building  should  be  pro- 
vided for  the  Owen  collection,  it  was  thought  advisable  to  erect 
one  sufficiently  large  to  accommodate  the  law  school,  library 
and  other  departments,  for  which  there  were  not  adequate  ac- 
commodations in  the  old  building.  A  plan  was  adopted  in  ac- 
cordance with  these  suggestions.  The  corner-stone  was  laid 
July  2,  1873,  Governor  T.  A.  Hendricks  and  Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor  Leonidas  Sexton  delivering  the  orations.  This  building 
was  in  length,  one  hundred  and  thirty  feet ;  in  breadth,  fifty 
feet ;  three  stories  high.  The  collection  and  chemical  labora- 
tory occupied  the  lower  floor.  The  library,  the  physical  de- 
partment and  analytical  laboratory,  the  second  floor.  The 
law  department,  till  its  close  in  1877,  and  afterwards  the  nat- 
ural history  and  geological  departments  and  modern  languages 
the  third  floor.  This  building  and  nearly  all  its  contents  was 
destroyed  by  fire,  being  struck  by  lightning,  in  1883,  exactly 
ten  years  and  eleven  days  after  the  laying  of  the  corner-stone. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Board,  June  30,  1875,  Dr. 
Cyrus  Nutt  resigned,  having  held  the  office  of  President  for 
fifteen  years.  During  his  presidency  there  was  on  the  whole 
a  continued  increase  in  the  prosperity  of  the  Institution,  and  a 
number  of  important  changes  made  and  measures  adopted.  In 
1868  the  College  was  opened  to  female  students.  In  the 
year  1873  an  important  connection  was  made  Avith  the  high 
schools  of  the  State.  In  1867  an  annual  grant  of  $8,000  was 
made  to  the  University,  and  in  1873  another  annual  grant  of 
$14,000.  In  the  year  before  a  grant  of  $8,000  was  made  for  the 
payment  of  some  debts  of  the  University.  In  1871  the  Owen  col- 
lection was  purchased,  and  in  1872  the  Indiana  Medical  College 
was  united  to  the  University,  becoming  its  medical  department. 
In  1873  a  building  was  erected  for  the  museum,  the  law,  the 
physical,  chemical,  natural  history,  and  modern  language  depart- 


Erected    1855.

DESTROYED  BY  FIRE  IN   1883. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  81 

merits,  and  also  for  the  library.  The  number  of  students  in  the 
College  proper  and  law  school,  exclusive  of  the  medical  school 
and  preparatory  department,  averaged  during  Dr.  Nutt's  ad- 
ministration one  hundred  and  sixty-six  per  annum.  The  lowest 
number,  in  1863,  (during  the  war)  was  seventy-nine,  the  high- 
est, 1871,  two  hundred  and  fifty-eight.  Dr.  Nutt  died  August 
23,  1875,  less  than  two  months  after  his  resignation. 

THE    PRESIDENCY    OF    DR.    LEMUEL    MOSS. 

After  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Nutt,  it  became  necessary  to 
look  for  a  successor.  An  alumnus  of  the  University,  residing 
in  Chicago,  suggested  that  Dr.  Moss,  who  had  lately  resigned 
the  Presidency  of  Chicago  University,  would  be  the  man  to  fill 
the  vacancy  in  this  place.  Inquiry  was  made  respecting  this 
retiring  President,  and  the  answers  received  were  all  favorable 
as  to  character  and  qualifications.  It  so  happened  that  there 
was  a  called  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees  in  Indianapolis, 
shortly  before  the  end  of  the  summer  vacation,  and  while  in 
session  the  Board  was  informed  that  Dr.  Moss,  whose  name 
had  been  mentioned,  was  at  that  time  in  Indianapolis,  with  his 
family,  on  their  way  eastward.  An  interview  was  had  with 
the  Doctor,  and  shortly  after,  on  the  13th  of  September,  1875, 
he  was  elected  President  of  the  University,  and  his  course  was 
diverted  from  the  east  and  turned  to  Bloomington,  at  which 
place  he  arrived  on  Friday,  the  17th.  On  the  following  day, 
the  Senior  Professor,  President  pro  tern,,  introduced  Dr.  Moss 
to  the  students,  and  he  then  assumed  his  position  as  President 
of  Indiana  University.  Under  the  preceding  President,  the 
University  had  prospered,  and  the  incoming  President  entered 
upon  his  administration  under  very  favorable  auspices. 

In  the  Annual  Report  of  1877  Dr.  Moss  presented  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  his  views  of  the  aims  and  wants  of  the 
University.  Many,  if  not  all,  the  excellent  and  appropriate 
suggestions  then  made  were  approved  by  the  Board.  The 
connection  of  the  medical  school  with  the  University  termin- 
ated in  1876,  having  continued  five  years.*  In  the  following 
year  the  law  department,  established  in  1842,  was  closed.  The 
cause  of  the  discontinuance  of  these  schools  seems  to  have  been, 

*The  connection  of  the  medical  school  with  the  University  was  little  more  than  nom- 
inal, and  of  no  advantage  to  either  side,  and  was  allowed  to  lapse,  no  one  objecting. 


82  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

that  since,  according*  to  the  decision  of  the  Board,  the  tuition 
was  free,  it  would  have  required  an  expenditure  beyond  the 
means  at  the  disposal  of  the  Trustees  to  secure  the  services  of 
competent  professors.  In  1855  there  was  a  so-called  scientific 
course  of  three  years,  differing  from  the  other  courses  by  the 
omission  of  Greek  and  Latin.  In  1867  the  scientific  course 
was  changed  to  a  four  year  course,  and  additional  studies  were 
required.  This  arrangement  continued  till  the  third  year  of 
Dr.  Moss'  Presidency,  when  three  courses  were  established : 
t.  The  course  of  ancient  classics,  leading  to  the  degree  B.  A., 
Bachelor  of  Arts.  2.  The  course  of  modern  classics,  in  which 
French  or  German  was  substituted  for  the  Greek.  The  elements 
•of  Greek  could,  however,  be  taken  in  the  Sophomore  year. 
This  course  led  to  the  degree,  Bachelor  of  Letters,  B.  L.  3. 
The  course  in  science  was  the  same  as  the  preceding  as  to 
languages ;  but  special  attention  was  given  to  the  physical 
sciences  in  the  Junior  and  Senior  years.  This  course  led  to 
the  degree,  Bachelor  of  Science,  B.  S. 

Courses  of  lectures  called  Special  Lectures  were  introduced 
by  Dr.  Moss  with  the  approval  and  support  of  the  Board. 
These  courses  were  not  long,  but  were  profitable  to  the  stu- 
dents and  the  public,  as  may  be  inferred  from  the  subjects  and 
the  distinguished  lecturers  by  whom  they  were  delivered. 

The  first  course  was  delivered  in  November,  1877,  by  Pro- 
fessor George  F.  Barker,  M.  D.,  LL.  D.,  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  His  subject  was  "  The  Latest  Discoveries  and 
Most  Recent  Methods  in  Physics."  The  lectures  were  fully  il- 
lustrated by  experiments  and  eloquently  delivered.  The  Pro- 
fessor exhibited  the  telephone,  then  in  its  infancy,  and  also  the 
electric  light  produced  by  the  galvanic  battery.  This  light, 
otherwise  produced,  was  then  emerging  from  the  halls  of  sci- 
ence and  becoming  a  public  illuminator. 

In  1878  there  was  a  highly  instructive  course  of  lectures 
delivered  by  President  James  B.  Angell,  of  the  University  of 
Michigan,  on  "International  Law,  Illustrated  by  American 
History." 

In  February,  1880,  the  late  Richard  A.  Proctor,  B  A..,  of 
Cambridge,  England,  so  well  known  by  his  voluminous  writ- 
ings and  as  a  popular  lecturer,  delivered  a  course  of  six  lectures 
on  astronomy.  These  eloquent  and  instructive  lectures  were 
illustrated  by  diagrams  and  the  magic  lantern. 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  83 

In  1880  Professor  William  T.  Harris,  LL.  D.,  then  of  St. 
Louis,  delivered  a  course  of  six  lectures  on  "The  Philosophy 
and  History  of  Education."  In  the  following  year,  Professor 
Harris,  now  of  Concord,  Mass.,  was  invited  back  to  give  a 
course  of  lectures  in  pedagogics  to  the  Senior  and  Junior 
classes  of  the  University.  In  the  following  winter  of  1882, 
Miss  Brace,  a  graduate  of  Vassar  College,  gave  a  five  weeks7 
course  in  elocution  to  the  Senior  and  Junior  classes,  together 
with  several  public  exhibitions  of  her  remarkable  elocutionary 
powers.  The  year  following  she  was  elected  Professor  of  Elo- 
cution in  the  University.  Since  this  time,  these  special  courses 
have  been  discontinued.  The  college  year  of  1882-3  terminated 
auspiciously.  The  last  week  was  a  festive  occasion,  closing 
with  the  usual  commencement  exercises.  One  evening  was 
devoted  to  a  levee  and  reunion  of  the  Alumni  and  their  friends. 
The  College  societies,  the  Philomathean,  the  Athenian  and  the- 
Ladies'  Hesperian,  held  their  valedictory  exercises  some  time 
during  this  week,  thus  closing  this  very  prosperous  year.  It 
sometimes  happens  that  calamity  follows  hard  on  prosperity. 
Just  one  nionth  after  the  commencement,  July  13,  1883,  the 
College  building,  the  corner-stone  of  which  was  laid  by  Gov- 
ernor T.  A.  Hendricks  and  Lieutenant-Governor  Leonidas 
Sexton,  July  2d,  1873,  was  a  mass  of  ruins. 

As  there  had  been  no  one  occupying  the  building  for  more 
than  a  week,  there  is  no  way  of  accounting  for  the  fire  but  by 
a  vivid  flash  of  lightning,  which  occurred  about  6  o'clock  p.  M. 
on  the  12th  of  July,  during  a  heavy  fall  of  rain,  which  contin- 
ued the  whole  night.  The  tire  must  have  been  smoldering  in 
the  building  till  8  o'clock,  when  the  alarm  was  given.  The 
building  was  so  pervaded  by  the  smoke  that  no  part  could  be 
entered  except  the  museum,  in  the  lower  story,  from  which  some 
tables,  covered  with  specimens,  were  taken.  The  valuable 
library  of  about  13,000  volumes  was  completely  destroyed,  and 
also  all  the  physical  and  chemical  apparatus,  and  the  valuable 
collections,  together  with  the  library  of  Professor,  now  Presi- 
dent Jordan.  Had  it  not  been  for  the  exertions  of  the  firemen, 
and  the  heavy  rain,  the  other  building,  only  ten  feet  from  it, 
must  have  met  the  same  fate. 

This  calamity  occurring  during  vacation,  most  of  the  pro- 
fessors were  out  of  town.  In  the  emergency,  the  resident 
trustees,  professors  and  some  influential  citizens,  met  and  dis-

cussed  the  situation.  About  the  beginning  of  August  the  board 
of  trustees  in  a  called  session,  and,  with  the  funds  in  hand, 
immediately  proceeded  to  prepare  the  old  college  building*  for 
the  temporary  reception  of  the  professors  who  had  lost  their 
rooms  and  apparatus  by  the  recent  lire. 

It  was  also  resolved  at  this  meeting  of  the  board  to  select  a 
new  site,  removed  from  the  annoyance  of  the  railroad,  on  which 
to  rebuild  the  University.  The  board,  after  an  examination  of 
various  situations,  selected  a  tract  of  twenty  acres,  situate  on 
the  eastern  border  of,  and  overlooking  the  city,  in  what  is 
known  as  "  Dunn's  woods."  This  they  purchased  from  Moses 
E.  Dunn,  Esq.,  the  grandson  of  the  original  proprietor.  About 
the  beginning  of  September  the  Commissioners  of  Monroe 
County  voted  to  donate  $50,000  to  the  University,  for  the 
purpose  of  erecting  biiildings ;  and  by  this  generous  grant, 
and  the  money  received  from  the  insurance  companies,  the 
trustees  were  enabled  immediately  to  make  preparations  for 
building.  Mr.  George  "W.  Bunting,  of  Indianapolis,  was  em- 
ployed as  architect.  At  the  meeting  of  the  board  in  November, 
1883,  the  plans  were  submitted  and  adopted.  Three  buildings 
'were  at  this  time  stipulated  for.  On  Wednesday,  April  2,  1884, 
the  ground  was  broken.  On  June  10,  in  accordance  with  ar- 
rangements previously  made,  the  corner-stone  was  laid.  The 
day  was  unpropitious,  and  so  rainy  that  the  addresses  were  de- 
livered in  the  Methodist  Church,  comparatively  few  assembling 
to  witness  the  actual  ceremony  of  putting  the  stone  in  place. 
The  three  buildings  were  named  Wylie  Hall,  Owen  Hall  and 
Maxwell  Hall.  Wylie  Hall,  when  the  main  building  shall  be 
erected,  is  intended  for  the  Department  of  Physics  and  Chem- 
istry. At  present  (1888),  the  Chemical  Department  occupies 
the  first  story,  its  proper  place,  while  the  second  story  is  occu- 
pied by  the  Library  and  several  other  departments  besides  the 
Physical. 

Owen  Hall  is  intended  for  and  is  at  present  occupied  by  the 
Departments  of  Natural  Science  and  the  Museum.  Maxwell 
Hall  is  a  wooden  structure.  On  its  lower  floor  are  the  Chapel, 
a  recitation  room  and  the  ladies'  room.  In  the  second  story 
are  five  recitation  rooms. 

The  commencement  took  place  this  year  (1884),  on  June  11. 
The  number  of  graduates  was  twenty-one  ;  the  whole  number  of

students,  143 ;  this  being  the  first  year  after  the  fire,  compared 
with  the  preceding  year,  the  diminution  was  only  23. 

On  November  8,  1884,  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Moss  was  for- 
mally announced  to  the  Faculty,  and  also  that  the  Rev.  Elisha 
Ballantine,  LL.  D.,  had  been  appointed  President  pro  tern.  All 
things  connected  with  the  University  went  on  harmoniously 
and  very  prosperously,  considering  the  great  losses  sustained 
by  the  destruction  of  the  library,  the  rnuseum,  the  physical 
and  chemical  apparatus,  together  with  the  buildings  in  which 
were  the  class-rooms  of  four  professors,  showing  that  the  stu- 
dents and  friends  of  the  University  had  not  lost  their  confi- 
dence in  the  institution  by  the  disaster  that  had  befallen  it. 


THE  PRESIDENCY  OF  DR.  DAVID  S.  JORDAN. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  January  1, 1885,  Dr. 
David  S.  Jordan,  Professor  of  Natural  Science,  was  chosen 
President  of  the  University,  and  Dr.  Elisha  Ballantine,  vice 
President.  A  number  of  changes  have  been  made  in  the  man- 
agement of  the  Institution  and  the  courses  of  study  since  Dr. 
Jordan's  inauguration.  These  changes,  however,  have  been 
made  so  gradually  that  they  have  not  appeared  either  abrupt 
or  ostentatious.  The  ordinary  business  of  the  college  was  car- 
ried on  in  the  old  college  during  the  erection  of  the  new  build- 
ings. On  the  3d  of  September,  1888,  to  the  gratification  of 
all  concerned,  the  students  assembled  in  their  new  and  com- 
modious halls,  for  prayers,  lectures  and  recitations.  Several 
new  professorships  have  been  instituted,  and  the  Faculty  in- 
creased in  numbers,  corresponding  to  the  increased  numbers  of 
the  students,  and  the  requirements  of  the  times. 

The  principal  features  of  President  Jordan's  administration 
thus  far  have  been  the  following : 

"  The  development  of  special  courses  whereby  each  professor 
has  some  opportunity  to  give  advanced  instruction  in  the  direc- 
tion of  his  specialty,  and  the  student  has  an  opportunity  to  do 
something  more  than  to  secure  the  mere  elements  of  a  subject. 
The  arrangement  of  the  work  is  such  that  each  student  has  a 
wide  range  of  choice  among  elective  studies,  while  at  the  same 
time  he  is  required  to  take  up  special  work  of  some  one  de- 
partment and  continue  it  for  three  or  four  years,  thus  making 

7- HISTORY. 


86  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

it  the  back-bone  of  his  education.  In  the  classical  course  such 
thoroughness  has  long  been  required  in  Greek  and  Latin,  and 
in  nothing  else,  while  the  modern  substitutes  for  such  a  course 
as  a  rule,  had  no  central  axis,  or  subject  to  master. 

For  the  arrangement  of  the  studies,  which  may  vary  from 
time  to  time,  see  the  annual  reports  of  the  University.  The 
general  course  of  study,  which  every  candidate  for  the  degree 
of  A.  B.  must  complete,  is  as  follows : 

GENERAL. — English,  one  year,  daily. 

Mathematics,  one  year,  daily. 

Some   one   Science   (Biology,   Chemistry,   Physics), 

one  year,  daily. 

Ancient  or  Modern  Languages,  either  one  language 
two  years,  or  two  languages  one  year  each,  daily. 
English  Prose  Composition,  once  a  week  through- 
out the  course. 

SPECIAL. — Every  student  must  select  for  a  specialty  a  subject 
in  which  a  four  years'  course  is  ofiered.  The  first 
year  in  each  specialty  is  identical  with  some  one 
of  the  required  studies  mentioned  above. 

COLLATERAL. — The  head  of  each  department  may  lay  out  in 
connection  with  his  course,  work  in  related 
subjects,  such  required  collateral  work  not  to 
exceed  six  terms  of  daily  recitations,  and  to 
be  specially  arranged  for  each  student. 

ELECTIVE. — The  remainder  of  his  work — six  terms  of  daily 
recitations — the  student  may  elect  from  any  de- 
partments in  the  University. 

Freshmen  may  first  take  the  required  general  studies  with- 
out selecting  a  specialty.  The  order  in  Avhich  the  required  and 
general  collateral  studies  are  taken  may  vary  with  the  condi- 
tions in  each  case.  The  student  is  to  be  guided  in  this  case  by 
the  advice  of  the  President,  and  after  choosing  a  specialty  by 
that  of  the  professor  under  whom  he  desires  to  work.  Sopho- 
mores, Juniors  and  Seniors  must  report  to  the  professor  in 
charge  of  the  department  in  which  they  have  chosen  their 
specialty  within  a  week  after  entering  the  University.  They 
may  change  their  specialty  at  the  end  of  a  term  with  the  con- 
sent of  the  professors  in  the  two  departments  concerned,  but 
no  changes  as  to  the  special  collateral  or  elective  studies  will  be

permitted,  after  the  beginning  of  a  term,  and  no  student  will 
be  graduated  who  has  not  finished  all  the  work  required  for 
graduation  in  some  department,  no  matter  how  much  work  he 
may  have  done  in  other  departments. 

Corresponding  to  the  fourteen  departments  now  fully  organ- 
ized and  equipped,  and  each  offering  a  four  years'  course  to  be 
pursued  as  a  specialty,  there  are  at  present  fourteen  courses 
leading  to  the  degree  A.  B.  These  courses  are  the  same  in  ex- 
tent and  value.  Each  requires  the  same  preparation  for  admis- 
sion, and  each  requires  four  years  for  completion.  Each  one 
requires  that  the  student  shall  have  followed  some  special  line 
of  study  for  four  years.  It  is  intended  that  every  graduate  of 
the  University  shall  have  a  thorough  drill  in  some  department 
of  knowledge,  while  breadth  of  culture  is  encouraged  by  means 
of  certain  general  studies  required  .of  all  students,  and  by  a 
wide  range  of  elective  studies  during  the  Junior  and  Senior 
years." 


THE  LAW  SCHOOL. 


The  organization  of  the  Law  School  was  agitated  in  1835,  if 
not  sooner,  early  in  the  administration  of  the  first  President 
of  the  University.  The  earliest  attempt  to  organize  it  as  a  de- 
partment of  the  University  must  have  been  sometime  between 
1835  and  1837.  A  loose  scrap  of  paper  containing  a  note  which 
the  writer  probably  intended  to  transfer  to  the  minutes  has  es- 
caped destruction,  on  which  is  the  following : 

"  Resolved,  That  in  the  opinion  of  the  board  a  professorship 
of  law  should  be  established,  to  be  connected  with  the  college. 

"  That  the  law  term  should  consist  of  four  months,  from  De- 
cember 1st  to  March  31st. 

"  That  the  salary  of  the  professor  shall  be  $300,  to  be  paid  as 
other  salaries  of  the  college  officers,  and  that  he  also  be  entitled 
to  dispose  of  lecture  tickets  for  his  own  benefit,  the  price  of 
which  shall  not  exceed  $10  per  term. 

"  Resolved,  That  the  board  now  proceed  to  the  election  of 
said  professor." 

Mr.  Foster  (who  was  a  trustee  from  1835  to  1838)  was  ap- 
pointed teller,  and  on  counting  the  votes  it  appeared  that  Isaac 
Blackford  was  unanimously  elected  professor. 

There  is  no  further  trace  of  Judge  Blackford's  professorship. 
From  some  notes  which  had  been  taken  from  the  old  record 
book  of  the  college,  destroyed  in  the  fire  of  1883,  mention  is 
made  of  Charles  Lewis  having  been  chosen  Professor  of  Law% 
September  20,  1837.  We  have  no  further  notice  of  Mr.  Lewis, 

At  the  first  meeting  of  the  board,  after  the  college  had  been 
made  a  university,  the  following  appeared  on  record  in  its  pro- 
ceedings under  date  of  September  25, 1838  :  "  On  motion  of  Mr. 
Law  the  board  proceeded  to  the  election  of  a  Professor  of  Law. 
The  result  of  the  election  was  that  the  Hon.  Miles  G.  Eggleston 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  89 

was  unanimously  elected."  Mr.  Eggleston  declined,  owing  to 
circumstances  over  which  he  had  no  control.  Application  was 
then  made  to  several  distinguished  jurists,  but  no  one  was 
found  willing  to  accept.  The  matter  was  then  dropped  till 
1841,  when  Gen.  Tilglmian  A.  Howard  was  elected,  and  a  very 
urgent  letter  was  sent  to  the  hoard  requesting  his  acceptance. 
General  Howard,  however,  declined  this  earnest  request. 

About  a  year  after  this  the  names  of  several  distinguished 
jurists  were  presented  to  the  board.  Of  this  number  David 
McDonald,  who  was  a  resident  of  Bloomington  and  a  Judge  of 
the  Circuit  Court,  was  duly  elected,  and  on  the  following  day 
Tiis  letter  of  acceptance  was  received.  In  the  catalogue  of 
1841-42,  the  first  announcement  of  the  Law  School  is  made  by 
the  professor, — but  it  does  not  appear  that  there  was  any  class. 
In  the  following  year,  1843,  there  was  a  graduating  class  of 
five,  and  in  1844,  of  eight.  In  the  catalogue  of  this  year  an 
announcement  was  made,  of  which  the  following  is  an  extract : 
"  In  establishing  this  department  it  is  the  design  of  the  board 
of  trustees  to  build  up  a  law  school  that  will  furnish  to  gentle- 
men, intended  for  the  bar,  a  complete  course  of  legal  educa- 
tion, but  since  time  and  experience  are  necessary  in  order  to 
establish  such  an  institution  on  a  firm  basis,  and  to  give  it  such 
a  character  as  will  induce  its  success,  it  has  been  deemed  ad- 
visable to  adopt  merely  a  temporary  arrangement  for  the  pres- 
ent year.  *  *  *  It  is  intended  that  the  course  of  study  shall 
occupy  four  sessions ;  the  students  will  be  divided  into  two 
classes,  the  Junior  and  Senior.  *  *  *  Any  gentleman  not 
wishing  to  study  law  as  a  profession  may  enter  the  Junior  class 
for  instruction  in  that  part  of  the  course  which  relates  to  inter- 
national, constitutional  and  commercial  law.  *  *  *  The 
professor  will  deliver  a  course  of  lectures  on  international  and 
constitutional  law,  common  law  and  equity  jurisprudence.  He 
will  hold  a  moot  court  once  a  week  in  which  the  students  will 
be  exercised  in  drawing  pleadings  and  arguing  legal  questions 
and  law  cases,  previously  given  out,  and  on  each  of  which  he 
will  afterwards  deliver  an  opinion,  as  well  as  on  the  questions 
of  law  involved  as  on  the  manner  of  the  arguments." 

Under  the  direction  of  Judge  McDonald,  the  Law  School 
prospered.  Students  from  all  parts  of  the  State  and  some 
from  other  States  attended  the  classes. 


90  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA     UNIVERSITY. 


In  1847  Judge  W.  T.  Otto,  a  graduate  of  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania,  well  known  in  the  State  for  his  high  attain- 
ments, both  in  law  and  general  literature,  was  elected  as  As- 
sociate Professor  of  Law,  and  entered  upon  his  duties  in  1847. 
Judge  Otto  resigned  in  1851,  and  Judge  McDonald  in  1853. 
Judge  James  Hughes  succeeded  Judge  McDonald  and  held  the 
office  two  years,  when  he  obtained  leave  of  absence  to  take 
his  seat  in  Congress.  During  his  absence  his  place  was  sup- 
plied by  Judge  A.  B.  Carlton.  On  the  resignation  of  Judge 
Hughes  in  1857,  Col.  James  R.  M.  Bryant  was  elected  Professor 
of  Law,  and  held  it  till  1861,  when  he  resigned  to  take  a  po- 
sition in  the  army.  Judge  George  A.  Bicknell,  a  graduate  of 
the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  succeeded  Colonel  Bryant,  and 
continued  till  1870.  During  the  last  year  of  his  professorship 
he  was  assisted  by  John  U.  Pettit,  of  Wabash,  who,  having 
been  elected  Professor  of  Law,  served  one  year.  On  their  re- 
signation in  1870,  Samuel  E.  Perkins,  of  Indianapolis,  long  a 
Judge  of  the  Supreme  Court,  was  elected  to  the  position,  and 
began  his  service  in  the  session  ensuing,  and  held  the  place  till 
1872.  At  the  time  of  the  election  of  Judge  Perkins,  Bascom 
E.  Rhodes  was  also  chosen  Professor  of  Law,  and  held  this 
position  till  the  close  of  the  law  school  in  1877.  Judge  Delana 
R.  Eckels,  of  Greencastle,  succeeded  Judge  Perkins,  \vho  had 
resigned,  and  held  this  place  for  one  year,  when  the  Hon.  D. 
W.  LaFollette,  of  New  Albany,  took  the  the  place  of  Judge 
Eckels,  and  in  1875,  C.  F.  Mc^utt,  of  Martinsville,  Ind.,  suc- 
ceeded Judge  Eckels,  and,  associated  with  Professor  Rhoads, 
attended  to  the  duties  of  the  department  till  its  close. 

The  law  department  was  in  a  very  nourishing  condition 
when  it  was  discontinued,  there  being  forty-one  students  in  at- 
tendance. By  reason  of  legislative  action  cutting  down  the 
salaries  of  professors  to  such  a  point  that  competent  professors 
could  not  be  secured,  this  department  of  the  University  closed 
its  doors.  It  is  gratifying,  however,  to  state  that  after  a  dis- 
continuance of  the  Law  School  since  1876,  the  Trustees  at  a 
meeting  of  the  Board  in  June,  1889,  have  made  provision  for 
the  re-opening  of  this  important  department  of  the  L^niversity 
by  electing  Judge  David  D.  Bant  a,  of  Franklin,  Professor  of 
Law,  who  has  now  taken  charge  of  the  department. 

The  Law  School  opened  propitiously,  with  about  thirty  stu- 
dents in  attendance  in  September,  at  the  beginning  of  the  col- 
lege year  1889-90. 


SKETCHES  OF   THE  PRESIDENTS  OF  THE 
INDIANA  UNIVERSITY. 


DR.  ANDREW    WYLIE,  FIRST    PRESIDENT    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

Andrew  Wylie  was  born  April  12,  1789*  in  Western  Penn- 
sylvania. He  was  the  son  of  Adam  Wylie,  a  native  of  County 
Antrim,  in  the  north  of  Ireland,  who  emigrated  to  this  coun- 
try about  the  year  1776,  and  settled  in  Fayette  County,  Pa., 
then  a  new  country  and  far  west.  His  father  was .  a  hard- 
working farmer,  and  his  son  Andrew  was  in  his  youth  ac- 
customed to  hard  work.  His  early  education  was  such  as 
he  received  at  the  common  school  during  the  times  he  could 
be  best  spared  front  the  labors  of  the  farm.  The  early  devel- 
opment of  his  mind  was,  in  a  great  degree,  due  to  his  mother, 
who  took  special  pains  to  imbue  the  minds  of  her  children  with 
the  spirit  of  piety  and  the  love  of  truth.  The  late  Dr.  William 
Wylie,  of  Newark,  O.,  was  one  of  these  children.  For  a 
number  of  years  Andrew  Wylie  was  engaged  in  farming. 
After  a  hard  day's  work,  he  would  spend  the  evening  in 
storing  his  mind  with  some  useful  knowledge.  It  is  to  this 
vigorous  exercise  which  he  was  compelled  to  undergo  that  his 
sound  and  healthy  constitution  is  to  be  ascribed.  Till  his  very 
last  days  he  every  day  performed  some  manual  labor  out  of 
doors.  His  favorite  exercise  was  with  the  ax,  in  wielding 
which  he  had  few  superiors.  From  his  childhood  he  w^as  a 
great  reader,  reading  whatever  books  he  had  access  to — the 
Bible,  some  histories  and  a  few  religious  works  comprised  such 
as  he  had  to  use.  The  writer  has  seen  a  manuscript  geog- 
raphy, indicating  that  it  had  been  well  used,  which  he  had 
copied,  and  probably  modified,  when  a  boy,  either  on  account 
of  the  difficulty  of  procuring  a  copy,  or  to  impress  the  subject 
better  on  his  mind.  When  about  fifteen  he  entered  Jefferson 


92  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

College,  Canonsburg,  then  under  the  Presidency  of  Dr.  Dun- 
lap,  through  which  he  passed  with  great  honor  to  himself, 
defraying  his  expenses  hy  teaching  or  some  other  honest  labor. 
In  October,  1810,  Mr.  Wylie  graduated  with  the  first  honor. 
Immediately  after  his  graduation  he  was  appointed  tutor,  and 
Dr.  Dunlap  resigning  about  a  year  after,  he  was  unanimously 
elected  by  the  Board  of  Trustees — the  Faculty  approving  the 
act — President  of  the  College ;  thus  the  youngest  and  lowest 
of  the  Faculty  was  made  its  head.  In  the  year  1817  Dr.  Wylie 
resigned  the  Presidency  of  Jefferson  College  and  accepted  that, 
of  Washington  College,  in  a  town  by  the  same  name  about 
seven  miles  from  Canonsburg,  in  the  hope  that  the  two  institu- 
tions would  be  united.  In  this  he  was  disappointed;  the* 
attempted  union  produced  a  series  of  troubles  and  difficulties, 
and  was,  no  doubt,  the  cause  of  his  resignation  and  removal. 
It  was  some  time  in  the  fall  of  1829  that  he,  having  been 
elected.  President  of  Indiana  College,  which  had  been  char- 
tered the  year  before,  removed  to  Bloomington  and  took 
charge  of  the  institution,  which  had  been  organized  in  1820 
and  put  in  operation  in  1824,  under  the  name  of  the  State 
Seminary,  and  had,  just  previous  to  the  election  of  Dr.  Wylie, 
been  raised  to  the  dignity  of  a  college.  *  The  Seminary  had 
been  in  active  operation  since  1824,  under  the  superintendency 
of  Professors  Baynard  R.  Hall  and  John  H.  Harney. 

Very  different  estimates  have  been  put  on  the  character  of 
Dr.  Wylie.  He  had  many  strong  friends,  and  there  were  also 
some  bitterly  opposed  to  him.  Those  intimately  acquainted 
with  him  will  not  find  it  difficult  to  account  for  this  trait  of 
character.  He  was  tolerant,  and  patient  to  a  fault,  of  every- 
thing but  meanness  and  duplicity.  A  person  in  whom  he  had 
no  confidence  he  would  keep  at  arms'  length,  and  although 
policy  might  dictate  an  opposite  course,  he  would  hardly  treat 
one  thus  regarded  with  common  courtesy.  "He  would  never," 
to  use  his  own  expression,  "throw  a  sop  to  Cerberus."  On  the 
other  hand,  to  those  in  whom  he  had  confidence  no  one  was 
more  affable.  There  was  sometimes,  however,  an  apparent 
want  of  civility,  a  brusk  manner,  which  doubtless  was  the 
cause  of  some  bad  feeling  toward  him  on  the  part  of  students 
and  others.  This  arose  from  a  trait  of  character  often  found 
with  deep  thinkers,  when  they  have  some  subject  of  study  con- 
stantly before  their  minds.  Dr.  Wylie,  when  in  this  mood, 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  93 

hardly  noticed  any  one  ;  he  would  brush  past  his  nearest  friends, 
even  his  wife  and  daughters,  without  recognizing  them.  Per- 
sons not  knowing  this  peculiarity,  when  thus  apparently 
slighted,  with  feelings  hurt  and  pride  wounded,  would  be  deeply 
and  often  implacably  offended. 

Two  characteristics  of  a  good  teacher  Dr.  Wylie  had  almost 
to  perfection.  He  had  learning  and  the  faculty  of  communi- 
cating what  he  knew.  N"o  one  understood  better  how  to  draw 
out  the  mind  of  the  student.  Under  his  training  the  pupil 
felt  that  he  wTas  really  making  progress  and  not  blindly  follow- 
ing a  guide  almost  as  blind  as  himself.  Dr.  W,  II.  McGuffey, 
of  the  University  of  Virginia,  and  the  venerable  nonagenarian, 
Dr.  John  W.  Scott,  now  ('89)  of  Washington,  D.  C.,  and  Gov. 
Henry  A.  Wise,  of  Virginia,  were  among  his  pupils  before 
coming  to  Indiana,  and  General  McKee  Dunn^and  Judge  An- 
drew Wylie,  of  Washington  City,  are  among  the  earliest  grad- 
uates of  Indiana  University. 

As  a  writer,  Dr.  Wylie  was  clear  and  terse.  His  Baccalaure- 
ates and  published  writings  are  evidences  of  this.  They  are 
always  interesting  and  instructive.  Dr.  Parvin,  Professor  in  Jef- 
ferson Medical  College,  Philadelphia,  and  a  pupil  of  Dr.  W., 
thus  speaks  of  the  address  of  Dr.  Wylie  :  "  Of  those  published 
by  him  probably  that  which  was  delivered  before  the  Philoma- 
thean  Society,  of  Wabash  College,  July,  '38,  the  subject  of 
which  was :  '  The  propriety  of  retaining  the  Greek  and  Ro- 
man classics  in  their  place  as  a  part  of  study  necessary  in  the 
course  of  a  liberal  education,'  was  most  widely  known,  and 
won  for  the  author  the  highest  praise.  Asher  Robins,  of 
Rhode  Island,  one  of  the  finest  classical  scholars  ever  a  mem- 
ber of  our  National  Senate,  wrote  to  him  soliciting  a  copy  of 
the  address.  Daniel  Webster  wrote  to  him  for  the  same  pur- 
pose. Dr.  Wylie's  '  Eulogy  on  Lafayette,'  delivered  in  Bloom- 
ington,  elicited  a  letter  from  Webster,  in  which  he  spoke  of 
the  production  in  terms  of  the  highest  praise.  Surely  the  stu- 
dents of  Dr.  Wylie  are  guilty  of  no  blind  idolatry,  or  no  idola- 
try at  all,  when  they  declare  that  in  ability  he  was  one  of  the 
first  men  in  all  our  country." 

In  addition  to  his  Baccalaureate  and  other  addresses,  Dr. 
Wylie  published,  in  1839,  a  small  treatise  entitled  "  Sectarian- 
ism is  Heresy."  When  President  ot  Washington  College,  he 
published  an  "  English  Grammar."  These  and  several  sermons 


94  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

and  some  translations  from  Plato,  published  in  a  short-lived 
periodical,  the  Equator,  are  the  principal  writings  of  Dr.  Wylie 
that  have  been  printed.  He  left  two  works  ready  for  the  press, 
"A  Treatise  on  Rhetoric,"  and  one  on  "The  Training  of  Youth." 

Dr.  Wylie  was  brought  up  a  Presbyterian,  and  for  many 
years  was  a  pastor  in  that  denomination,  and  much  esteemed 
by  his  congregation  in  Western  Pennsylvania.  In  1841  he 
connected  himself  with  the  Episcopalians.  We  are  at  a  loss  to 
say  what  led  him  to  select  this  denomination  when  we  consider 
the  liberality  of  his  views  and  his  opposition  to  sectarianism. 
Had  he  been  influenced  either  by  fear  or  by  favor,  or  by  any 
selfish  motive,  a  more  popular  and  influential  body  of  Christians 
than  the  Episcopalians  were,  at  that  time  in  the  State,  would 
certainly  have  been  his  choice.  However  much  some  of  his 
friends  regretted  the  step  he  had  taken,  none  of  those  inti- 
mately acquainted  with  him  lost  their  confidence  in  his  integ- 
rity or  suspected  him  of  any  sinister  motive  in  making  this 
change. 

His  death  took  place  November  llth,  1851,  a  full  notice  of 
which  is  given  in  the  History  of  the  University  (page  57.) 


REV.  ALFRED  RYORS,  D.  D.,  SECOND  PRESIDENT,  INDIANA  UNIVERSITY. 

Alfred  Ryors  was  born  in  "the  city  of  Philadelphia,  June  23, 
1812.  He  was  left  an  orphan  at  so  early  an  age  that  he  scarce- 
ly remembered  his  parents.  After  their  death  he  found  a  home 
with  his  father's  friends  in  Montgomery  County,  Pa.,  with 
whom  he  lived  till  1823.  In  the  summer  of  this  year,  he  united 
with  the  Presbyterian  Church,  under  the  pastoral  care  of  Rev. 
Robert  Steel,  D.  D.,  with  whom  he  began  a  course  of  classical 
study  in  preparation  for  the  Gospel  ministry.  Assisted  by  the 
kindness  and  liberality  of  friends,  and  especially  of  Dr.  Steel, 
he  entered  the  Freshman  Class  of  Jefferson  College  in  1831. 
Here  he  remained  two  years,  when  he  left  college  and  engaged 
as  a  teacher  of  Latin  and  Greek  in  the  School  of  C.  J.  Haider- 
man,  at  Bristol,  Pa.  Professor  Halderman  was  an  eminent 
mathematician  and  from  him  he  received  those  lessons  which 
gave  direction  to  his  future  and  contributed  to  his  success  as 
professor  of  mathematics.  In  the  fall  of  1834  he  returned  to 
Jefferson  College,  and  graduated  the  following  year,  receiving, 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  95 

in  a  class  of  forty-three  members,  its  first  honors.  Previously 
to  taking  his  degree,  he  received  and  accepted  the  appointment 
of  Principal  of  the  Academic  Department  in  LaFayette  Col- 
lege, Easton,  Pa.  Here  he  remained  only  one  year,  having,  in 
May,  1836,  been  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  the  Ohio 
University.  Notwithstanding  his  somewhat  severe  labors  at 
Easton,  he  found  time  to  prosecute  a  course  of  theological 
studies  with  a  view  to  his  regular  introduction  to  the  Gospel 
ministry.  After  completing  his  course  of  study,  he  was  licensed 
to  preach  by  the  Second  Presbytery  of  Philadelphia,  in  the  fall 
of  1838,  three  years  after  his  graduation. 

Having  been  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  the  Uni- 
versity of  Indiana,  in  the  fall  of  1843,  he  resigned  the  chair 
which  he  had  held  in  Ohio  University  for  more  than  seven 
years,  and  removed  the  following  spring  to  Bloomington,  Ind., 
.the  seat  of  the  State  University.  This  position  he  resigned  in 
1848,  in  order  to  return  to  the  Ohio  University,  to  the  Presi- 
dency of  which  he  had  been  elected.  During  his  connection 
with  the  Indiana  University  he  preached  for  more  than  two 
years  to  the  Presbyterians  of  Bloomington,  and  it  was  at  the 
request  of  this  congregation  that  he  was  ordained  by  the  Pres- 
bytery of  Salem  (now  New  Albany  Presbytery),  in  1845. 

As  Dr.  Ryors  succeeded  Dr.  W.  H.  McGuffey,  that  most  pop- 
ular and  gifted  instructor  of  young  men,  he  had  no  or- 
dinary ordeal  to  pass  in  the  new  and  enlarged  sphere  of  his 
labors.  With  what  ability,  zeal  and  success,  both  as  a  discip- 
linarian and  instructor  he  filled  this  responsible  position,  his 
colleagues  of  the  Faculty,  as  wrell  as  the  students  of  the  Uni- 
versity, bear  decided  testimony.  It  was  at  the  first  meeting 
after  his  return  to  Ohio  that  he  received  from  the  University 
of  Indiana  the  degree  of  Doctor  of  Divinity. 

In  the  summer  of  1852  he  was  invited  to  return  to  Indiana, 
having  been  elected  President  of  the  University  which  he  had 
left  lour  years  before.  Accepting  the  appointment,  he  resigned 
the  post  he  held  and  removed  to  Bloomington  in  the  fall,  to  re- 
main only  a  year.  Disappointed  in  the  condition  of  the  Uni- 
versity, and  opposed  by  disaffected  intriguers  and  aspirants  he 
determined  to  resign,  and  six  months  after  his  arrival  he  sent 
in  his  resignation,  which,  however,  at  the  earnest  request  of  the 
President  of  the  board,  he  was  induced  to  withdraw.  At 
the  next  meeting  of  the  board,  at  the  close  of  the  year,  he 


96  HISTORY  OF  [INDIANA  UNIVERSITY. 

again  resigned,  and  accepted  the  invitation  to  supply  for  a 
while  the  pulpit  of  the  First  Presbyterian  Church  of  Madison, 
Ind.  He  was  called  by  this  church  in  the  May  following  to  be- 
come their  pastor.  This  call  he  declined,  though  still  supply- 
ing their  pulpit.  A  few  weeks  afterwards  he  was  elected  Pro- 
fessor of  Mathematics  in  Center  College,  Ky.,  which  position 
he  held  till  he  was  removed  by  death,  May  8,  1858. 

Dr.  Ryors  in  1838  married  Miss  Louisa  Walker,  of  Athens, 
Ohio,  who  still  (1890)  lives  in  Bloomington  with  her  daughter, 
the  wife  of  the  Hon.  R.  W.  Miers,  one  of  the  trustees  of  the 
University. 

REV.    WILLIAM    M.    DAILY,    D.    D.,  LLD.,  THIRD    PRESIDENT    OF    INDIANA 

UNIVERSITY. 

William  M.  Daily  was  born  in  Coshocton,  Ohio,  in  1812, 
This  same  year  his  father  moved  to  Indiana  and  settled  in 
Franklin  County  on  a  farm,  near  Brookville,  the  county  seat. 
There  he  spent  his  childhood  days,  attending  the  country  school 
when  there  was  one.  Having  a  frail  constitution,  it  was 
thought  when  he  was  quite  young  that  he  would  never  be  fit 
for  manual  labor.  When  lie  had  learned  all  he  could  at  the 
country  school  he  was  sent  to  Brookville,  where  he  learned  all 
that  was  taught  there.  At  fifteen  he  left  home  to  take  charge 
of  a  school  in  an  adjoining  county,  and  began  life  for  himself, 
which  he  preferred  to  do,  although  his  father  was  in  comforta- 
ble circumstances.  He  was  baptized  in  infancy  and  grew -up 
in  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  At  sixteen  he  exhorted 
and  preached,  the  people  going  for  miles  to  hear  the  "boy 
preacher,"  as  he  was  called.  In  1831  he  joined  the  conference; 
in  1833  he  was  ordained  deacon  ;  in  1835,  elder.  While  dis- 
charging all  the  duties  the  church  required  of  him  as  a  minis- 
ter, which  were  very  laborious  in  those  days,  he  kept  up  his 
studies,  rising  at  four  o'clock  in  the  morning,  that  he  might 
get  a  few  hours  at  his  books.  In  1835-36  he  was  stationed  at 
Bloomington,  Indiana,  where  he  discharged  the  duties  of  pastor 
and  student  in  the  Indiana  University,  graduating  in  1836.  In 
1837  he  was  agent  of  the  Preacher's  Aid  Society.  In  1838  he 
was  transferred  to  the  Missouri  Conference,  and  stationed  in 
St.  Louis.  Soon  after  he  was  elected  a  professor  in  St.  Charles 
College.  He  remained  in  Missouri  till  1840,  when  he  returned 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  97 


to  Indiana  in  broken  health,  suffering  from  hemorrhage  of  the 
lungs.  Having  improved  in  health,  in  1843,  at  the  suggestion 
of  Bishop  Ames  he  was  called  to  take  charge  of  a  congregation 
in  Madison,  Indiana.  Here  he  met  and  was  married  to  Miss 
Permelia  A.  Northcraft.  In  the  winter  of  1844-45  Mr.  Daily 
was  chaplain  in  the  United  States  Congress,  after  which  he  was 
stationed  at  Rising  Sun  and  Evansville.  At  this  time  he  was 
made  agent  for  Indiana  Asbury  (now  DePauw)  University,  and 
afterwards  Presiding  Elder  of  the  Bloomington  and  Madison  dis- 
tricts. In  1852  Dr.  Daily  was  a  member  of  the  general  confer- 
ence. In  1853  he  was  elected  President  of  the  Indiana  Univer- 
sity, when,  after  six  years  of  hard  labor,  he  resigned  and  returned 
to  Madison  in  1859.  In  1862  he  was  appointed  hospital  chaplain 
at  St.  Louis,  by  President  Lincoln,  which  position  he  held  till 
the  close  of  the  war  in  1865,  when,  as  he  was  desirous  of  going 
south,  at  the  request  of  General  Yates  he  was  appointed  special 
mail  agent. 

He  received  the  degree  of  A.  M.  in  course  from  Indiana  Uni- 
versity, and  the  honorary  degree  A.  M.  from  Augusta  College, 
Kentucky,  during  the  presidency  of  Biship  Bascom.  He  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  D.  D.  from  Indiana  University  in  1851, 
and  LL.  D.  some  years  afterwards  from  the  University  of  Louis- 
ville. 

Dr.  Daily  became  connected  with  the  Louisiana  Conference 
in  January,  1869,  and  was  appointed  to  the  Baton  Rouge  Dis- 
trict, and  afterwards  to  the  Upper  Coast  District.  On  each  of 
these  he  served  a  term  of  four  years.  He  was  next  appointed 
to  the  North  New  Orleans  District.  Not  long  after  this  ap- 
pointment he  was  taken  seriously  ill,  and  in  a  few  days  departed 
this  life.  A  few  months  after  his  death  his  remains  were  re- 
moved to  Madison,  Indiana,  his  old  home. 

Dr.  Daily,  during  his  connection  with  the  University,  deliv- 
ered a  number  of  Baccalaureates  which  were  published.  A 
volume  of  his  sermons  was  published  in  Cincinnati.*

JOHN  H.  LATHROP,  FOURTH  PRESIDENT  INDIANA  UNIVERSITY. 

John  Hiram  Lathrop,  the  fourth  President  of  Indiana  Uni- 
versity was  born  in  Sherburne,  Chenango  County,  N.  Y.,  Jan- 
uary 22,  1799.  He  was  fitted  for  college  after  the  manner  of 
the  day  by  a  neighboring  clergyman,  and  entered  Hamilton 
College  m  1815.  After  the  secondly  ear  he  availed  himself  of 
the  larger  opportunities  of  Yale  Callege,  entered  its  Junior 
Class  and  received  his  degree  in  1819,  in  standing  the  saluta- 
torian  of  the  class.  He  accepted  a  tutorship  in  Yale,  and  thus 
obtained  means  for  prosecuting  the  study  of  law  in  the  Law 
Department  of  that  Institution.  He,  however,  finding  the 
practice  of  the  law  uncongenial,  decided  to  give  his  energies 
to  the  cause  of  education.  He  taught  in  various  parts  of  New 
England,  presided  over  a  military  academy  at  Norwich,  Conn., 
and  later  over  the  Gardiner  Lyceum,  of  Gardiner,  Maine.  In 
1829  he  was  called  to  Hamilton  College  as  Professor  of  Mathe- 
matics and  Natural  Philosophy.  From  this  institution  he  re- 
ceived the  degree  of  LL.  D.  In  1833  he  married  Miss  Frances 
E.  Lothrop,  of  Utica,  N.  Y.,  a  niece  of  President  Kirkland,  of 
Harvard  College.  In  1835  he  was  advanced  to  the  Professor- 
ship of  Law,  Civil  Polity  and  Political  Economy,  in  Hamilton 
College.  In  1840  he  was  elected  first  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity of  Missouri,  at  Columbia.  Dr.  Lathrop,  though  aware 
of  the  great  sacrifice  he  made  in  leaving  the  East  for  this  new 
and  uncultivated  field  in  the  West,  determined  to  accept  the 
new  trust,  and  after  a  journey  of  six  weeks,  he  reached  the 
remote  station.  Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  University 
of  which  he  was  chosen  President  existed  only  in  the  appro- 
priation of  land  made  by  Congress,  Dr.  Lathrop  succeeded  in 
calling  it  into  real  life,  organizing  it  and  making  it  a  perma- 
nent and  promising  institution,  with  buildings  unusually  sub- 
stantial for  the  period,  and  equipped  with  an  able  corps  of 
instructors.  When  the  slave  agitation  began  in  Missouri, 
which  affected  even  educational  establishments,  President  Lath- 
rop, an  unswerving  friend  of  freedom,  felt  it  due  to  himself  to 
resign  the  charge  he  had  so  successfully  conducted  in  Missouri. 
In  1849  he  accepted  the  Chancellorship  of  Wisconsin  Univer- 
sity, at  Madison.  After  ten  years'  service  in  Madison,  he  was 
induced  to  accept  the  twice-offered  Presidency  of  Indiana  Uni- 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  99 


versity.  After  a  year's  service  in  that  institution  he  received 
an  invitation  to  a  Professorship  in  the  University  of  Missouri, 
which  he  had  been  instrumental  in  founding,  preferring  a  Pro- 
fessorship to  the  cares  of  administration.  In  1860  he  returned 
to  Columbia,  Missouri,  and  in  1865  he  was  a  second  time  chosen 
President.  By  an  attack  of  typhoid  fever,  he  died  in  the  midst 
of  his  labors  in  1866.  [Abridged  from  the  Missouri  Volume

REV.  CYRUS  NUTT,  D.  D.,  LL.  D.,  FIFTH  PRESIDENT  OF  INDIANA  UNIVER- 
SITY. 

Cyrus  Nutt  was  born  in  Trumbull  County,  Ohio,  September 
4,  1814.  He  graduated  at  Allegheny  College,  Meadville,  Penn-

with  him  in  1843,  when  he  was  pastor  of  the  Bloomington  M.

Iii  1882  lie  explored  Lake  Superior,  in  1886  tlie  Adirondack^, 
and  also  Iowa,  Missouri,  Arkansas  and  Texas:  in  1888,  Vir- 
ginia, Tennessee  and  the  Carolinas;  in  1889,  Colorado,  Utah 
and  Wyoming. 

Dr.  Jordan's  scientific  papers  are  chiefly  on  lislies.  They 
number  250  titles,  and  are  for  the  most  part  published  by  the 
U.  S.  Fish  Commission,  the  U.  S.  National  Museum,  and  the 
Smithsonian  Institute.  In  very  many  of  these  Dr.  Charles  II. 
Gilbert  is  associated  as  collaborator.  The  principal  are,  ''Man- 
ual of  Vertebrates,"  now  (1889)  in  its  fifth  edition ;  "  Science 
Sketches,"  in  1888;  "Synopsis  of  Fishes  of  North  America,"

influence,  the  college  course  and  general  administration  have 
been  to  a  great  extent  remodeled,  the  number  of  professors 
increased,  and  a  greater  opportunity  given  to  students  for  pur- 
suing special  studies  and  for  practical  work  in  the  laboratories 
and  in  the  field.

With  various  changes  from  Professor  of  Natural  Philosophy 
and  Chemistry  to  Professor  of  Languages,  and  in  three  years 
after,  transferred  to  the  chair  of  Natural  Philosophy,  he 
continued  in  the  active  service  of  the  University  till  1886, 
when  he  received  the  honorary  title  of  "  Emeritus,"  which  he 
still  ('89)  holds.  Professor  Wylie,  during  the  annual  showers 
of  honorary  degrees,  was  not  missed.  He  .received  from 
Miami  University  the  degree  D.  D.,  and  a  year  later  from  Mon- 
mouth  College,  and  the  following  year  from  Princeton  College, 
N.  J.,  the  same  honorary  title,  and  shortly  after  LL.  D.  from 
his  Alma  Mater.  Prof.  T.  A.  Wylie  married  Miss  Rebecca 
Dennis,  of  Germantown,  now  in  the  city  of  Philadelphia,  Pa., 
Nov.  5,  1838.  They  celebrated  their  golden  wedding  Nov.  5, 
1888,  receiving,  among  other  kind  remembrances,  a  valuable 
souvenir  from  the  Faculty  of  the  LTniversity.

MATTHEW    MONROE    CAMPBELL 

Was  born  near  Cumberland  Gap,  Tennessee,  November  12, 
1810.  In  1818  the  family  moved  from  the  Gap  and  settled  on 
the  large  military  claim  which  covered  the  southeast  quarter 
of  the  city  of  Louisville,  Ky.  In  1829  he  came  to  Blooming- 
ton,  attracted  there  by  the  reputation  of  Dr.  Andrew  Wylie — 
who  in  the  preceding  year  was  made  President  o£  the  Univer- 
sity, and  became  a  student  under  him,  with  a  view  to  entering 
the  ministry.  He  did  not  graduate  till  after  the  seventh  year 
of  his  arrival  in  Bloomington.  During  one  of  these  years  he 
taught  and  for  the  last  two  years  he  assisted  in  the  preparatory 
department,  at  the  same  time  keeping  up  the  studies  of  his 
class.  In  1836  he  graduated  with  honor  and  with  a  high  repu- 
tation for  a  devout  and  consistent  piety.  Soon  after  gradu- 
ating, he  married  Miss  Martha  McPheeters,  and  in  1837  betook 
a  school  in  Mississippi  at  a  salary  of  $1,200  a  year.  In  1840  he 
was  called  to  take  charge  of  the  preparatory  department  of 
Indiana  University,  and  though  the  salary  was  but  §500,  he, 
through  his  attachment  to  Dr.  Wylie,  whom  he  regarded  as 
his  personal  friend,  accepted  the  offer  and  hastened  to  return. 
Instead  of  finding  a  full  faculty  and  only  the  usual  amount  of 
work,  he  found  but  two  professors — death  and  a  college  cyclone 
had  swept  off  all  the  others — and  thus  the  work  of  six  men  de- 
volved upon  himself  and  the  other  two.  On  the  ground  of  his 
assisting  so  frequently  in  teaching  the  regular  college  classes, 
he  was  made  adjunct  Professor  of  Languages.  In  1853,  his 
health  failing,  he  retired  to  his  farm.  In  1863  he  was  called  to 
fill  a  vacancy  in  the  chair  of  languages,  occasioned  by  the  resig- 
nation of  Prof.  Ballantine.  In  1859  Mr.  Campbell  was  agent  for 
the  American  Bible  Society  in  Kansas^  during  which  he  exer- 
cised his  talent  as  a  lay-preacher  of  the  gospel  in  the  different 
places  he  visited.  The  famine  and  drought  which  prevailed  in 
Kansas  in  1860  terminated  this  agency.  In  1861  he  received 


>RY    OF    INDIANA 


from  Governor  Morton  a  chaplain's  commission  for  the  Eighty- 
second  Regiment  Indiana  Volunteers,  a  position  unsolicited  by 
him.  Not  being  an  ordained  preacher  but  only  an  elder  in  the 
Presbyterian  church,  he  felt  himself  unqualified  to  accept. 
As  he  was  directed  to  report  immediately  to  headquarters, 
and  as  it  was  impossible  to  convene  the  Presbytery  immedi- 
ately, he  applied  to  the  Methodist  Conference,  then  in  session 
in  Bloomington,  which  courteously  received  him  and  immedi- 
ately licensed  him  to  preach,  regarding  his  Presbyterian  ordi- 
nation as  sufficient.  He  immediately  joined  his  regiirient  and 
continued  with  it  till  the  end  of  the  war.  Prof.  Campbell's 
last  public  service  was  as  superintendent  of  the  public 
schools  of  Monroe  County,  Ind.,  which  office  he  held  for  four 
years  ;  and  now,  a  widower,  without  a  home  of  his  own,  at  the 
homes  of  his  son  and  daughter,  he  spends  his  time  teaching 
and  training  his  grandchildren  and  other  children,  with  the 
hope  that  they  may  become  good  and  useful  members  of 
society.  During  three  or  four  years  past  (since  1884)  he  has 
been  nearly  blind,  but  notwithstanding  this  great  disadvantage, 
he  has  been  laboring  earnestly  to  direct  the  attention  of  our 
statesmen  and  people  to  the  importance  and  advantage  of  cor- 
recting the  orthography  of  the  English  language,  showing,  in 
several  letters  which  he  has  published,  the  great  saving  of  time 
there  would  be  in  the  education  of  children  and  the  advantage 
that  there  would  be  to  all,  even  to  the  educated,  in  not  being 
obliged  to  consult  a  dictionary  for  the  correct  spelling  of  a 
word.  Prof.  Campbell  has  published  a  number  of  open  letters, 
calling  the  attention  of  statesmen  and  teachers  and  the  public 
in  general  to  the  importance  of  the  reform  in  the  orthography 
and  orthoepy  which  he  proposes  to  make,  and  which  he  con- 
siders worthy  of  the  attention  of  the  rulers  of  the  English 
speaking  people  in  all  parts  of  the  world. 

JOHN    IRWIN    MORRISON, 

Born  July  25,  1806,  near  Chambersburg,  Franklin  County,  Pa. 
He  had  for  his  teachers  in  early  youth  the  Rev.  Samuel  W. 
Crawford,  D.  D.,  afterward  Principal  of  the  Academy  of  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania,  the  Rev.  Charles  B.  McKee  and 
Rev.  Robert  Lusk,  ministers  of  the  Reformed  Presbyterian 
Church.  Mr.  Morrison  removed  to  Indiana  in  1826,  and  set-

tied  in  Washington  County.  He  pursued  his  studies  in  Miami 
University,  Ohio,  and  graduated  there  in  1829.  Mr.  Morrison 
was  the  founder  of  the  Salem  Female  Institute  in  1835.  In  1839 
he  was  elected  State  Representative.  In  1840  he  was  Profes- 
sor of  Languages  in  the  Indiana  University,  which  place  he 
occupied  till  1843.  From  1846  till  1855  he  was  a  Trustee  of  the 
University,  part  of  the  time  the  President  of  the  Board.  In 
1847-50  he  was  elected  State  Senator,  and  was  appointed  by 
the  Senate,  senatorial  delegate  to  the  constitutional  convention, 
was  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Education,  and  drafted  sub- 
stantially the  article  on  education.  Mr.  Morrison  has  also  the 
honor  of  being  the  author  of  section  8  of  the  law  which  cre- 
ated the  office  of  "  State  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction." 
From  1856  to  1860  he  was  Treasurer  of  Washington  County. 
During  the  war  of  the  rebellion  he  was  United  States  Commis- 
sioner, and  from  1865  to  1867  Treasurer  of  State.  In  1872  he 
removed  from  Indianapolis  to  Knightstown,  Henry  County, 
Ind.  In  that  place  he  was  President  of  the  School  Board  from 
1874  to  1877.  Again  we  find  him,  in  1874-78,  President  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees  of  Indiana  University,  taking  an  active  part 
in  fitting  up  the  new  building  for  the  different  departments 
which  were  to  occupy  it.  Mr.  Morrison  united  with  the  Pres- 
byterian Church  at  Salem  in  1830,  under  the  ministry  of  the 
Rev.  Benjamin  Cressey.  In  1832  he  was  married  to  Catherine 
Morris,  daughter  of  Benoni  Morris,  of  Washington  County, 
Ind.  John  I.  Morrison  died  at  his  home  in  Knightstown,  Ind., 
July  17,  1882. 

DAVID  M'DONALD 

Was  born  in  the  year  1803,  on  McBride's  Run,  near  Millers- 
burg,  Bourbon  County,  Ky.  In  1817,  when  he  was  fourteen 
years  old,  his  parents  removed  to  Indiana  and  settled  in  Daviess 
County,  not  far  from  Washington.  In  addition  to  the  ele- 
mentary instruction  he  received  in  Kentucky,  lie  attended  the 
school  of  Rev.  Cyrus  Mclntire  for  a  short  time,  where  he  re- 
ceived some  instruction  in  Grammar  and  Rhetoric.  This  is 
about  all  the  regular  schooling  he  had.  As  he  was  fond  of 
reading  and  had  a  disposition  to  study,  lie  found  means  to 
gratify  his  taste  for  literature  and  the  study  of  language.  His 
future  career  has  shown  with  what  success. 


113 


In  1820  he  connected  himself  with  the  religious  body  then 
known  as  Xew  Lights,  was  licensed  to  preach,  and  officiated 
in  this  capacity  tor  a  immher  of  years  witli  groat  zeal.  At  the 
beginning  of  the  year  1830  ho  commenced  the  study  of  law, 
devoting  a  certain  number  of  hours  every  day  to  this  work. 
At  this  time  lie  also  had  charge  of  a  school.  In  1830  he  was 
admitted  to  the  bar.  During  the  first  year  of  his  practice  his 
income  amounted  to  about  $250,  but  after  this  his  practice  was 
always  remunerative.  In  1833  he  was  elected  to  the" Legisla- 
ture from  the  counties  of  Daviess  and  Martin,  and  in  this  year 
he  was  admitted  to  practice  in  the  Supreme  Court  of  Indiana. 
In  1834  ho  was  elected  Prosecuting  Attorney  for  the  Seventh 
Judicial  Circuit;  this  included  ten  counties.  In  1836  he  was 
reflected.  In  1838  ho  was  chosen  Circuit  Judge,  and  this  office 
he  held  for  two  terms  of  seven  years  each.  In  September, 
1841,  he  removed  to  Bloomington,  and  soon  after  was  elected 
Professor  of  Law  in  Indiana  University,  in  which  office  he 
continued  till  1852.  In  November,  1851,  the  new  constitution 
was  adopted,  which  made  sweeping  changes  in  the  judiciary. 
On  this  account,  although  urged  to  the  contrary  by  his  friends, 
he  declined  nomination.  Not  long  after  he  was  placed  by  the 
Whigs  on  the  State  ticket  as  a  candidate  for  the  Supreme 
Bench;  but  as  the  Whigs  were  in  the  minority  he  was  not 
elected  ;  his  popularity,  however,  was  shown  by  his  receiving 
5,000  more  votes  than  any  others  on  the  same  party  ticket. 
In  1853  he  commenced  the  practice  of  law  in  Indianapolis. 
In  1856  he  was  elected  President  of  Indiana  Asbury  LTniversity, 
which  honor  he  declined,  for  the  same  reason  that  he  declined 
the  degree  of  LL.  I),  conferred  by  Indiana  L^nivorsity,  viz.r 
that  he  had  not  received  a  collegiate  education.  In  1854  he 
was  severely  afflicted  by  the  death  of  a  loved  daughter.  Not 
long  after  this  he  united  with  the  Methodist  Episcopal  Church. 
In  1861  lie  was  again  subjected  to  a  severe  affliction  by  the 
death  of  his  estimable  wife. 

In  1864  he  was  appointed  Judge  of  the  United  States  Dis- 
trict Court  for. Indiana,  which  position  he  held  till  his  death,. 
August  26,  1869. 

Judge  McDonald  was  a  man  of  pure  morals  and  of  strict 
integrity,  beloved  and  respected  by  all  who  knew  him.  He 
was  the  author  of  "  McDonald's  Treatise,''  a  legal  work  well- 
known  and  highly  esteemed  by  the  profession,  and  which  still 


114  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

holds  its  place  as  a  text-book  of  value.  He  wrote,  also,  a  large 
portion  of  the  opinions  contained  in  Bissell's  Reports  of  the 
IT.  S.  Courts  for  the  Seventh  Circuit. 

In  1828  Judge  McDonald  married  Miss  Mary  R.  Miller,  of 
Lawrence  County,  111. 

DANIEL    READ,    LL.I). 

Daniel  Read  was  born  near  Marietta,  0.,  June  24,  1805,  in 
the  then  almost  wilderness  of  Ohio.  He  was  emphatically  a 
Western  man,  thoroughly  identified  with  Western  interests 
and  Western  progress,  especially  as  regards  education.  He 
was  educated  at  the  University  of  Ohio,  where  he  graduated 
with  the  honors  of  his  class.  .  He  then  studied  law  and  was 
admitted  to  practice  in  the  courts  of  the  State,  but  being 
elected  to  a  professorship  in  his  Alma  Muter  lie  accepted  it,  and 
this  incident  perhaps  changed  the  whole  current  of  his  life 
work.  He  received  his  first  commission  as  a  teacher  when 
nineteen  years  of  age,  on  April  5,  1825,  and  continued  either 
as  a  Professor  or  President  in  State  Universities  from  that 
time  till  July  4,  1876,  when  his  official  career  terminated  as 
President  of  the  University  of  Missouri,  having  served  the 
cause  of  education  continuously  for  more  than  fifty  years.  In 
the  year  1843  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Ancient  Languages 
in  Indiana  University.  In  this  situation  he  continued  till  the 
year  1856,  when  he  was  called  to  the  same  position  in  Wiscon- 
sin University,  where  he  remained  till  1866,  when,  on  the  death 
of  President  Lathrop,  he  was  called  to  the  Presidency  of  Mis- 
souri University,  which  position  he  held  till  his  sudden  death, 
October  8,  1878,  put  an  end  to  his  earthly  career.  During  his 
connection  with  the  University  of  Indiana  he  was  chosen  a 
member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention,  held  in  Indianapolis 
in  1851,  in  which  he  took  an  active  part  in  making  the  Con- 
stitution of  the  State  of  Indiana  what  it  now  is. 

President  Read  was  the  oldest  child  of  Ezra  Read,  of  Ur- 
bana,  0.  There  were  in  the  family  eight  sons  and  one  daugh- 
ter. Dr.  Read  paid  great  attention  to  the  education  of  his 
younger  brothers  and  sister,  all  of  whom  were  graduates  of 
respectable  colleges,  and  several  of  them  distinguished  in  pro- 
fessional life.  Two  of  his  brothers  were  officers  in  the  regular 
army  of  the  United  States.  One  of  them  was  killed  at  the 
head  of  his  regiment  during  the  rebellion.  Another  brother

was  Captain  in  the  navy,  and  was  killed  on  the  deck  of  the 
vessel  commanded  by  him  on  the  Mississippi  Eiver,  near  Baton 
Kouge.  His  sister,  Mrs.  E.  J.  McFerson,  for  a  number  of  years 
during  her  widowhood,  was  principal  of  a  ladies'  seminary  in 
Bloomington,  Intl.,  which  she  conducted  with  great  credit  to 
herself  and  advantage  to  the  community.  General  Theodore 
Read,  Dr.  Read's  only  son,  the  hope  and  pride  of  his  family, 
was  killed  at  Appomattox  Bridge,  in  Virginia,  in  the  spring  of 
1865,  and  in  one  of  the  battles  immediately  preceding  the  sur- 
render of  General  Lee. 

Dr.  Read  stood  prominently  before  the  country  as  a  distin- 
guished educator.  During  his  administration  the  University 
of  Missouri  made  immense  strides  in  legislative  recognition, 
increased  endowment,  assured  stability  and  enlarged  means  of 
useful  instruction,  and  largely  augmented  numbers  of  students. 
In  private  life,  no  family  circle  could  have  been  more  truthful 
and  affectionate,  no  children  could  have  shown  more  deference 
to  a  father's  wishes,  no  father  wiser  or  more  constant  and  ten- 
der solicitude  for  his  children's  welfare.  Dr.  Read  accepted 
reverently  ami  devoutly  the  Christian  religion.  He  drew  in- 
spiration from  its  sublime  truths  and  precepts  for  his  daily 
walk.  He  enjoyed  the  comforts  and  blessings  promised  to  the 
believer,  and  endeavored  to  regulate  his  life  in  conformity  to 
its  laws.  Prof.  Read  married  Miss  Alice  Brice,  of  Athens, 
Ohio.  He  died  in  Keokuk,  Iowa,  October  3,  1878. 

In  making  this  brief  sketch,  the  writer  has  made  very  free 
use  of  the  memorial  addresses  made  at  the  University  of  Mis- 
souri, on  the  occasion  of  Dr.  Read's  death,  by  Major  James  S. 
Rollins  and  R.  L.  Todd,  Esq.

CHARLIES  MARSHALL,   i'K<  >  I'KS,«  >U   <  >  I  •    M  AT  II  KM  ATICS,  184D-52. 

Charles  Marshall  was  born  October  •:>,  1830,  at  Warrenton, 
Fauquier  County,  Virginia;  was  educated  at  the  University  of 
Virginia,  from  which,  in  1849,  he  received  the  degree  of  A.  M. 
For  three  years,  1849-52,  he  was  Professor  of  Mathematics  in 
the  University  of  Indiana,  to  which  he  came  highly  recom- 
mended by  Professor  Courtenay,  formerly  Professor  of  Xatural 
and  Experimental  Philosophy  at  West  Point,  and  afterward 
Professor  of  Mathematics  in  the  University  of  Virginia;  and 
also  by  Rev.  Dr.  "W.  H.  McGuffey,  then  Professor  in  the  same 
University.  Though  a  young  man  when  he  came  to  Bloom- 
ngton,  and  boyish  in  his  appearance,  he  soon  commanded  the 
respect  of  all,  students,  professors  and  citizens,  by  his  courteous 
manner,  his  scholarship,  and  his  aptness  to  teach.  After  re- 
signing his  position  he  studied  law  and  practiced  in  the  city  of 
Baltimore,  where  he  has  since  resided.  At  the  beginning  of 
the  civil  war  he  returned  to  Virginia  and  entered  the  Confed- 
erate army,  in  the  spring  of  1862,  and  was  for  a  time  on  the 
personal  staff  of  General  Robert  E.  Lee,  with  the  rank  of  first-

the  rank  of  lieutenant-colonel.  In  1865  he  returned  to  Balti- 
more and  resumed  the  practice  of  his  profession.  Colonel

ROBERT    MILLIGAN 

Was  born  in  County  Tyrone,  Ireland,  July  25,  1814.  He  died 
in  his  sixty -first  year  at  Harrodsburgh,  Kentucky,  March  29, 
1875.  He  was  four  years  old  when  his  parents  emigrated  from 
Ireland.  The  family  settled  in  Trumbull  County,  Ohio,  in  a 
newly  settled  country.  While  a  mere  boy  he  had  to  assist  in 
clearing  the  land.  In  this  work,  which  he  entered  upon  with 
his  characteristic  energy,  he  received  some  internal  injury 
which  compelled  him  to  give  up  this  mode  of  life,  and  thus, 
probably,  was  determined  the  current  of  his  future  life.  When 
seventeen  years  old,  he  was  sent  to  an  adjacent  county  of  Penn- 
sylvania, to  the  Classical  Academy  of  Dr.  Gamble,  a  graduate 
of  the  University  of  Edinburgh,  and  an  excellent  teacher. 
When  twenty-one  years  old  be  became  a  communicant  in  the 
Reformed  Presbyterian  church,  in  which  he  had  been  baptized. 
He  was  brought  up  in  the  strict  religious  training  of  that  de- 
nomination. When  twenty-three  years  old  he  opened  a  clas- 
sical school  in  Flat  Rock,  Bourbon  County,  Kentucky.  It  was 
here,  by  the  study  of  the  Bible  alone,  he  was  compelled  to 
change  his  religious  views  in.  some  important  particulars,  and 
soon  after  he  became  a  member  of  Mr.  Irvine's  congregation  at 
Cane  Ridge,  Kentucky,  by  whom  he  was  immersed.  He  left 
Flat  Rock  with  the  intention  of  going  to  Yale  College.  On 
his  way  be  stopped  at  Washington,  Pennsylvania,  and  was 
persuaded  by  friends  there  to  pursue  his  studies  at  Washing- 
ton College.  The  special  inducement  was  that  there  was  there 
a  small  band  of  Disciples,  who  made  him  their  leader  and 
teacher.  He  completed  his  course  in  Washington  College  in  a 
single  term  and  received  the  degree  of  A.  B.  This  was  in  1840. 
He  was  so  much  esteemed  by  the  Professors  and  Trustees  that 
lie  was  elected  to  a  Professorship.  In  1842  he  was  formally 
ordained  a  preacher  of  the  gospel  by  the  venerable  Thomas 
Campbell.  Twelve  years  of  his  life  were  spent  in  Washington 
College,  when  it  was  determined  by  the  Trustees  to  make  the 
College  more  strictly  denominational.  The  College  had  always 
been  under  Presbyterian  control,  but  now  it  was  to  be  under  the

immediate  supervision  of  the  Synod.  Professor  Milligan  was 
assured  tliat  if  he  desired  it  lie  might  remain  in  his  position, 
but  knowing  that  some  would  not  he  pleased  with  his  remain- 
ing, he  resigned  his  position  and  accepted,  in  1852,  the  Profes- 
sorship of  Mathematics,  and  afterward,  of  Natural  Philosophy 
and  Chemistry,  in  Indiana  University.  This  position  he  re- 
signed, in  1854,  on  account  of  the  health  of  his  family,  and 
accepted  a  Professorship  in  Bethany  College,  Virginia.  Here 
he  became  a  cooperator  with  Alexander  Campbell  in  building 
up  the  Institution.  In  1854  he  entered  upon  his  duties  where. 
along  with  President  Campbell  and  Messrs.  Pendleton  and 
Richardson,  he  was  a  coeditor  of  the  Millennial  Harbinger. 

While  Prof.  Milligan  was  in  Bethany  College  a  strong  effort 
was  made  to  put  Bacon  College  on  a  sure  foundation.  An 
endowment  of  $200,000  was  secured  and  the  name  was  changed 
to  Kentucky  University.  Prof.  Milligan  was  chosen  President, 
and  was  induced  to  dissolve  his  relations  with  Bethany  Col- 
lege, and  to  accept  the  offered  Presidency.  Here  he  labored 
with  his  accustomed  zeal  and  success. 

President  Milligan,  in  addition  to  his  many  contributions  to 
periodical  literature,  is  the  author  of  several  works  on  relig- 
ious topics.  Among  the  first  published,  was  a  small  volume  on 
"  Prayer."  Then  followed  at  different  intervals,  a  volume  en- 
titled "Reason  and  Revelation,"  next  a  u  Scheme  of  Redemp- 
tion," a  "  Commentary  on  the  Epistles  to  the  Hebrews." 
"  The  Great  Commission,"  and  "  Grace  and  Good  Works." 
He  left  unfinished,  "A  Complete  Analysis  of  the  New  Tes- 
tament." 

For  many  years  before  his  death,  President  Milligan  was  an 
invalid.  A  severe  attack  of  inflammatory  rheumatism  was 
followed  by  neuraligia  of  the  brain,  which  afflicted  him  till  his 
death. 

President  Milligan  was  a  strong  advocate  of  temperance. 
He  would  not  follow  the  advice  of  the  physicians  in  using 
whisky  and  brandy  for  a  daily  stimulus,  as  the  only  chance 
of  prolonging  his  life.  He  considered  the  example  he  would 
set  to  the  students  and  the  community  would  do  more  harm 
than  his  prolonged  life  would  do  good. 

Professor  Milligan,  married  Miss  Ellen  Blame  Russell  (Jan., 
1842),  daughter  of  Hon.  Jas.  Russell  and  a  cousin  of  Hon. 
James  Blaine.

PROF.  ELISHA  BALLANTINE. 

Elisha  Ballantine  was  born  at  Schodack  Landing,  on  the 
Hudson,  X.  Y.,  Oct.  11,  1809.  He  was  well  trained,  in  his 
parental  home,  in  the  primary  schools  and  the  University.  He 
graduated  in  1828  at  Ohio  University,  at  Athens;  studied  the- 
ology at  Laiion  Theological  Seminary,  Va.,  and  afterwards,  in 
1834-5,  at  Halle  and  Leipsic,  in  Germany.  He  refused,  as  in- 
consistent with  the  precepts  of  the  great  Teacher  whose  minis- 
ter he  was,  the  degree  of  D.  D.,  several  times  conferred  on  him. 
In  1878  he  accepted  the  literary  degree  LL.  D.  from  the  Uni- 
versity of  Indiana,  which  he  received  the  year  of  his  resigna- 
tion, 1878.  His  life  was  spent  in  the  service  of  the  church  and 
the  cause  of  education.  He  was  Professor  of  Hebrew  and  Greek 
in  Union  Theological  Seminary  from  1831  till  1837;  Professor 
of  Languages  in  Ohio  University  from  1838  till  1840.  From 
1840  till  1848  he  had  charge  of  a  congregation  in  Prince  Ed- 
ward County,  Virginia ;  from  1848  till  1852  was  pastor  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church,  Washington,  D.  C.  Being  threat-

Virginia.  In  1854  lie  was  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics  in 
Indiana  University.  After  tilling  this  chair  for  two  years,  he 
was  transferred  to  the  chair  of  Languages,  Dr.  D.  Kirkwood, 
of  Newark,  Delaware,  having  heen  chosen  Professor  of  Math- 
ematics. In  1863  Prof.  Ballantine  resigned  his  professorship 
in  the  University  to  accept  a  position  as  {Secretary  of  the  Amer- 
ican .Board  of  Foreign  Missions.  In  1866  he  was  Professor  of 
Hebrew  in  Lane  Theological  Seminary,  Cincinnati,  Ohio.  In 
1867  he  returned  to  Indiana  University  as  Professor  of  Greek; 
since  that  time  as  professor  and  professor  emeritus,  he  has,  till 
his  death,  heen  connected  with  the  University.  During  the 
last  two  years  of  his  connection  as  a  professor  in  active  service 
he  was  assisted  by  his  son,  the  Rev.  Dr.  W.  G.  Ballantine,  now 
of  Oberlin  Theological  Seminary. 

Professor  Ballantine  was  highly  esteemed  by  all  who  knew 
him,  as  a  scholar  and  as  a  Christian.  He  had  taken  the  man 
Christ  Jesus  as  his  model,  and  came  perhaps  as  near  to  that 
faultless  character  as  but  few  of  the  human  family  have  at- 
tained. Professor  Ballantine  was  a  sincere  man ;  there  was  no 
dissembling  about  him.  He  was  no  flatterer ;  his  words  were 
the  true  representative  of  his  thoughts.  He  was  benevolent- 
kind  to  all  with  whom  he  was  brought  in  contact.  He  was  in 
constant  demand  when  the  desponding  needed  comfort,  and 
when  the  dying  needed  a  spiritual  adviser.  His  services  of  this 
kind  were  freely  rendered,  and  often  sought  by  Christians  of 
every  name.  He  was  highly  esteemed  by  all  classes — Protestant 
and  KOI n an  Catholic,  Jew  and  Gentile.  As  a  preacher,  Professor 
Ballantine  was  plain  and  practical,  often  eloquent,  never  osten- 
tatious. 

As  a  literary  man  and  scholar,  Professor  Ballantine  stood  in 
the  tirst  rank.  He  was  thorough  in  his  scholarship.  In  addi- 
tion to  his.  knowledge  of  the  Greek  and  Latin,  he  was  an  ex- 
cellent Hebrew  scholar,  and  had  also  considerable  knowledge 
of  other  Semitic  dialects,  and  of  modern  languages  he  spoke 
and  read  the  German  language,  and  was  an  excellent  French 
scholar. 

Professor  Ballantine  resigned  his  professorship  in  Indiana 
rniversity  in  1878.  After  the  resignation  of  Dr.  Moss  in  No- 
vember, 1884,  he  was  made  acting  President.  About  the  close 
of  the  year  Dr.  Jordan,  Professor  of  Biology,  was  chosen  Pres- 
ident and  Professor  Ballantine  Vice  President  and  Professor

of  Greek.  These  positions  lie  held  till  his  death.  On  the 
morning  of  March  31, 1886,  he,  as  nsual,  officiated  in  the  chapel 
services,  and  seemed- to  he  in  perfect  health  and  spirits.  In  the 
afternoon  he  engaged  in  his  usual  work  in  his  garden,  was 
suddenly  taken  ill,  went  into  his  house,  and  in  a  few  moments 
expired,  his  daughter  Anna  heing  the  only  one  present  at  his 
decease. 

JAMES  RAY  M'CORKLE  BRYANT 

Was  born  in  Philadelphia,  June  25,  1802.  His  ancestors  were 
true  patriots,  who  fought  for  human  rights  and  the  foundation 
of  the  Republic.  He  was  educated  in  Philadelphia  at  Gray  & 
Wylie's  Academy,  and  there  prepared  for  his  entrance  into  the 
University  of  Pennsylvania.  After  completing  the  preliminary 
studies,  he  studied  law,  and  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1835  by 
Chief  Justice  Cranch.  For  several  years  he  held  a  position  in 
the  General  Land  Office  at  Washington,  but  subsequently  moved 
to  the  West  and  settled  at  Crawfordsville,  Indiana.  Not  long 
after  he  was  elected  to  the  State  Legislature  from  Montgomery 
County,  and  in  1844  he  was  nominated  on  the  Whig  ticket  for 
Congress,  but  was  not  elected.  He  afterwards  represented 
Warren  County  in  the  Legislature  for  several  terms.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Constitutional  Convention  which  met  in  In- 
dianapolis in  1852.  In  1838  he  was  appointed  Aid-de-Camp  to 
General  John  Tipton,  with  rank  of  Major.  In  1856-'61  Major 
Bryant  was  Professor  of  Law  in  Indiana  University.  At  the 
breaking  out  of  the  Rebellion  he  was  among  the  first  to  enlist, 
and  was  appointed  Lieutenant  Colonel  of  the  Tenth  Indiana ; 
at  the  battle  of  Rich  Mountain,  Va.,  he  received  a  wound,  from 
the  effects  of  which  he  died  February  25, 1866.  He  was  a  Whig 
in  politics  till  1856,  from  which  time  till  his  death  he  was  a  Re- 
publican, and  always  an  uncompromising  opponent  of  slavery, 
always  on  the  side  of  the  weak  and  the  oppressed.  He  gave 
much  of  his  time  to  the  cause  of  education.  He  was  himself  a 
good  classic  scholar,  well  educated,  and  knew  its  value.  He 
was  honest  and  honorable  in  all  his  dealings,  and  made  public 
profession  of  his  Christian  faith.

Leaving  the  college  for  the  purpose  of  teaching,  he  found  the 
work  so  attractive  to  him  that  lie  has  been  an  enthusiastic

DANIEL    KIRKWOOD 

Was  born  in  Harford  County,  Maryland,  September  27,  1814. 
His  early  education  was  limited.  In  1834  he  attended  an 
academy  in  York,  Pa.,  and  afterward  became  a  teacher  in  the 
same  institution.  In  1841  he  was  chosen  Principal  of  the 
High  School,  of  which  John  W.  Forney  and  Thaddeus  Stevens 
were  directors.  Afterward  he  removed  to  Lancaster,  Pa.,  and 
took  charge  of  the  Lancaster  City  High  School.  In  1839  he 
was  Principal  of  the  Pottsville  Academy.  While  in  this  place 
his  "Analogy  in  the  Periods  of  Rotation  of  the  Primary 
Planets  "  was  first  published  in  Silliman's  Journal  ot  Science, 
and  brought  into  notice  by  Professor  Sears  C.  Walker,  an  as- 
tronomer of  some  distinction,  to  whom  Professor  Kirkwood  had

communicated  it  in  a  letter.  This  ingenious  analogy,  derived 
from  La  Place's  nebular  theory,  attracted  much  attention,  both 
in  this  country  itnd  in  Europe.  In  1851  Professor  Kirkwood 
was  chosen  President  of  Delaware  College,  Newark,  Del.  In 
1856  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Indiana  Uni- 
versity, which  position  he  occupied  until  1886,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  about  two  years,  during  which  he  tilled  the  chair  of 
Mathematics  and  Astronomy  in  Jefferson  College,  Canonsburg, 
Pa.  He  has  been  a  frequent  contributor  to  several  scientific 
journals.  Many  of  his  articles  have  received  high  commenda- 
tion both  at  home  and  abroad.  A  paper  published  by  him  in 
the  proceedings  of  the  Royal  Astronomical  Society  of  London 
tirst  indicated  the  cause  of  the  intervals  between  Saturn's 
rings.  In  1851  he  was  made  a  member  of  the  American  Philo- 
sophical Society.  The  degree  of  A.  M.  was  conferred  on  him 
by  Washington  College,  Pa.,  and  LL.  D.  by  the  University  of 
Pennsylvania.  The  following  are  a  few  of  his  contributions 
to  science:  A  "  Treatise  on  Comets  and  Meteors,"  published 
by  Lippincott  <fc  Co.,  Philadelphia  ;  the  "  analogy ."  known  as 
"  Kirkwood's  Analogy," -already  noticed;  "On  the  Nebular 
Hypothesis,"  Sillirnairs  Journal,  1860 ;  "On  the  Zone  of  the

It  might  he  also  mentioned  that  Professor  Kirkwood  is  author 
of  the  articles  on  astronomy  in  the  annual  supplements  of  Ap- 
pleton's  Cyclopedia,  in  which  the  progress  of  astronomy  from- 
year  to  year  is  given.  In  1886  Professor  Kirkwood  resigned 
his  professorship,  having  been  connected  with  the  University 
for  nearly  thirty  years,  and  received  from  it  the  honorary  title 
of  Emeritus  Professor. 

Professor  Kirkwood  married  Miss  Sarah  J.  McNair,  of  New- 
town,  Pa.  Professor  and  Mrs.  Kirkwood  left  Bloomington  for 
Riverside,  Cal.,  October,  1889,  where  they  now  reside.

KMAXUEL    MARQUIS 

Was  born  on  the  6th  of  May.  1829,  in  Malchin,  (trand  Duchy 
of  Mecklinburg.  At  the  age  of  four  years  he  attended  the 
private  school  of  Herr  Ravi,  a  Polander,  who  instructed  him 
in  the  elementary  branches  and  prepared  him  for  entering  the 
flourishing  Latin  school  of  his  native  city,  under  the  able 
management,  both  as  to  instruction  and  disci  [dine,  of  its  Rec- 
tor, Carl  Butch.  On  leaving  school  Mr.  Marquis  had  an  award 
of  honors  in  every  department  except  Mathematics.  During 
these  years  of  severe  study  he  found  relief  in  practice  on  the 
piano,  under  the  direction  of  his  father,  who  was  an  excellent 
performer  on  that  instrument.  Though  afflicted  with  inflam- 
mation of  the  eyes,  brought  on  by  hard  study  and  candle  light, 
he,  contrary  to  the  oculist's  advice,  pursued  his  studies  with 
private  teachers,  acquiring  in  this  way  a  knowledge  of  Greek,

and  acquire  a  knowledge  of  the  Swedish  language.  While  in 
Carlscrone  lie  exchanged  instruction  in  German  for  recitations 
in  Swedish  with  Magester  Stromgren.  While  in  Stockholm 
many  kind  services  were  rendered  him  in  his  business  by  the 
publisher,  K.  Bonnier.  From  Stockholm  he  returned  to  Ham- 
burg in  July,  1851,  and  from  thence  sailed  to  the  United  States, 
arriving  at  Xew  York  September  4.  In  1852  he  came  to  In- 
diana, supporting  himself  by  giving  lessons  in  music  and  mod- 
ern languages.  He  was  employed  in  Asbury  (now  DePauw) 
University  as  an  instructor  in  German  and  French  from  1856 
to  1858.  From  Greencastle  he  removed  to  Bloomington  in 
1859.  In  1860  the  chair  of  Modern  Languages  was  established, 
and  Professor  Marquis  was  invited  to  take  charge  of  rhis  de- 
partment. In  this  position  he  continued  till  1864.  In  1860  he 
received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.  M.  from  the  Indiana 
Asbury  University.  In  18(15,  having  received  an  appointment 
as  U.  S.  Consul  at  Napoleon  Vendee,  in  France,  he  repaired  to 
that  place.  He,  however,  soon  resigned,  and  in  1866  returned 
to  the  United  States,  and  moved  back  to  Greencastle,  where  he 
has  been  engaged  in  private  teaching  and  commercial  pursuits. 
Professor  Marquis  has  been  a  frequent  contributor  to  the 
newspaper  and  periodical  press. 

(JKORGE    AUGUSTUS    BICKNELL 

Was  born  in  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  in  1817.  His  early  classical  edu- 
cation commenced  in  Wylie  and  Engles'  Academy.  From  this 
school  he  entered  the  University  of  Pennsylvania  as  a  sophomore 
in  1828,  at  the  same  time  his  teacher,  Dr.  S.  B.  Wylie,  had  been 
made  Professor  of  Ancient  Languages  in  the  same  institution. 
In  1831  he  graduated,  receiving1  the  degree  of  A.  B.,  and  three 
years  afterwards  the  degree  A.  M.  lie  studied  law  in  the  law 
school  of  Vale  College  receiving  the  degree  LL.  B.,  and  in  1864 
the  degree  LL.  I),  was  conferred  by  Indiana  University.  In 
1846  he  removed  to  Scott  County,  Indiana,  and  commenced  his 
political  ascent.  He  was  elected  Fence  Viewer  in  1847.  In

1848  he  was  elected  County  Prosecutor,  in  1850  Circuit  Prose- 
cutor, and- in  1852  Judge  of  the  Second  Judicial  Circuit,  hold- 
ing this  last  office  twenty-four  years  by  four  successive  elec- 
tions. In  1861  he  was  chosen  Professor  of  Law  iu  Indiana 
University,  which  position  he  held  till  1870.  Judge  Bicknell 
was  elected  to  the  Forty -fifth  Congress  and  was  re-elected  to 
the  Forty-six tli,  as  a  Democrat,  receiving  15,174  votes  against 
9,102  votes  for  Ara  E.  S.  Long,  National,  and  1,757  votes  for 
John  F.  Willy,  Republican.  Judge  Bicknell  belongs  to  the 
time-honored  family  of  Bicknells,  the  ancestor  of  which,  Zach- 
ary  Bicknell,  migrated  to  this  country  and  settled  at  Wey- 
mouth,  Mass.,  in  1635.  It  is  said  that  in  the  nine  or  ten  genera- 
tions of  this  family,  not  one  of  the  blood  of  the  American  brand) 
has  ever  stood  convicted  of  any  crime  or  misdemeanor  or  fraud. 
Judge  Bicknell's  last  four  year  term  of  service  in  congress 
terminated  in  1881.  In  this  same  year  he  was  appointed  one 
of  the  Commissioners  of  the  Supreme  Court  of  Indiana,  to  hold 
for  two  years,  an  office  of  the  same  rank  as  a  Judge  of  the 
Supreme  Court. 

Several  important  legal  workts  and  reported  speeches  are  the 
result  of  Judge  Bicknell's  experience  as  a  jurist  and  statesman. 
A  commentary  on  the  Bankrupt  Law,  which  called  for  a  second 
edition,  was  published  in  New  York  in  1841.  During  the 
twenty-four  years  of  his  time  as  Circuit  Judge,  at  least  250  of 
his  decisions  have  been  published.  During  his  term  as  Com- 
missioner of  Appeals,  his  decisions  may  be  found  in  the  re- 
ports of  the  Supreme  Court,  in  vols.  73  to  103,  inclusive. 
During  his  connection  with  the  University  as  Professor  of  Law 
he  published  an  octavo  volume  of  700  pages,  called  "Bicknell's 
Civil  Practice."  This  work  required  the  publication  of  a  second 
edition  in  1871.  In  1866  "BicknelPs  Criminal  Practice,"  an 
8vo.  of  500  pages,  was  published;  this  also  required  a  second 
edition  in  1871.  While  in  congress,  from  1877  to  March  4, 
1881,  many  of  his  speeches  and  reports  were  printed.  Judge 
Bicknell,  May  28,  1840,  married  Elizabeth  Haskins  Richards,  of 
Batso,  X.  J. 

PROFESSOR    RICHARD   OWEN,  M.  I).,  LL.  D. 

Richard  Owen  was  born  January  6, 1810,  at  Branneld  House, 
near  New  Lanark,  Scotland.  He  received  his  .early  education 
under  a  private  tutor,  and  later  at  the  Grammar-school,  at  old 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  127 

Lanark.  He  afterward  spent  three  years  at  Hofwyl,  Switzer- 
land, at  the  Institution  of  Emanuel  Fellenberg.  On  his  return 
from  Hofwyl,  he  attended  the  lectures  of  Dr.  Andrew  Ure,  at 
the  Andersonian  Institute.  In  1827  Mr.  Owen  sailed  from 
Scotland  in  company  with  his  father,  Robert  Owen,  and  on 
attaining  his  majority,  he  received  his  certificate  of  citizenship 
at  the  hands  of  Gen.  William  H.  Harrison,  the  clerk  of  the 
Hamilton  County  Court.  During  President  Folk's  administra- 
tion, at  the  breaking  out  of  the  Mexican  war,  he  obtained  a 
captain's  commission  in  the  16th  U.  S.  Infantry,  in  one  of  the 
ten  regiments  raised  by  act  of  congress,  and  served  in  the 
army  during  the  greater  part  of  the  Mexican  war.  In  1861 
Captain  Owen  accepted,  from  Governor  Morton,  a  Lieutenant 
Colonelcy  in  the  15th  Indiana  Volunteers.  He  served  in  West 
Virginia,  in  command  of  a  Brigade  under  Gen.  A.  J.  Smith. 
Later,  while  under  the  command  of  General  Franklin, in  1863, 
he  resigned  and  accepted  a  Professorship  in  Indiana- Univer- 
sitv.  Before  his  connection  with  the  University,  in  the  interim 
between  the  Mexican  war  and  the  war  of  the  Rebellion,  first 
as  Major  and  afterwards  as  Lieutenant  Colonel,  he  was  con- 
nected with  the  Western  Military  Institute  of  Kentucky,  as 
Professor  of  Xatural  Science.  While  in  the  Military  Institute, 
Dr.  Owen  not  only  gave  instruction  in  his  own  department, 
but  shared  with  Colonel  B.  R,  Johnson  in  the  military  train- 
ing of  the  students,  and  as  commandant  was  chiefly  charged 
with  the  discipline  of  the  Institution  and  with  the  manage- 
ment of  the  barracks.  For  three  years  he  was  engaged  in  the 
Literary  department,  of  the  LTniversity  of  Xashville.  In  In- 
diana University,  Dr.  Owen  was  Professor  of  Xatural  Philos- 
ophy and  Chemistry,  from  1863  to  1867.  Professor  of  Xatural 
Science  and  Chemistry  from  1867  to  1879.  During  these  fifteen 
years  he  gave  instruction  principally  in  Geology,  Mineralogy 
and  Chemistry,  and  during  vacancies  in  the  Modern  Language 
Department,  he  taught  German  and  French.  Before  becom- 
ing Professor  in  the  Western  Military  Institute,  Dr.  Owen  was, 
in  1849,  the  assistant  of  his  brother  Dr.  David  Dale  Owen,  in 
the  United  States  Geological  Survey  of  Minnesota.  He  was 
principally  engaged  in  taking  barometrical  observations  and 
making  sketches,  which  were  afterwards  engraved  for  the  large 
Fourth  Report  of  the  Survey.  In  1859-60,  before  entering  the 
Federal  service,  Dr.  Owen  made  a  geological  survey  of  Indiana, 


128  HfSTORY    OF    INDIANA     UNIVERSITY. 


the  first  year  as  assistant  to  his  brother  David  Dale  Owen,  and 
in  the  following  year  as  State  Geologist.  His  report,  with  illus- 
trations, was  published  by  the  State.  While  connected  with 
the  Tndiana  University,  he  made  a  survey  of  the  mineral 
resources  of  portions  of  New  Mexico  and  Arizona,  at  the 
request  of  Judge  Watts,  hy  whom  the  account  of  the  explora- 
tion Avas  published.  Dr.  Owen  also  made  a  geological  exam- 
ination of  parts  of  North  Carolina  and  of  East  Tennessee. 

Dr.  Owen  also  contributed  largely  to  periodicals,  hoth 
scientific  and  literary.  Since  his  resignation  in  1879  his  re- 
searches have  principally  heen  in  terrestrial  magnetism  and 
its  effect  on  the  formation  of  land  on  our  globe.  The  re- 
sults of  these  researches  have  been  published  partly  in  the  pro- 
ceedings of  the  A.  A.  A.  S.,  and  partly  in  ''Science,"  a  weekly 
journal. 

From  Dr.  Owen's  early  home  training,  and  the  influence  of  a 
pious  mother,  he  always  manifested  a  religious  spirit,  while  at 
the  same  time  his  father's  skepticism  and  principles  and  oppo- 
sition to  Christianity  had  its  effect  upon  him,  causing  him  to 
doubt  the  truth  of  revealed  religion.  During  his  whole  life  he 
retained  a  spirit  of  liberality  to  all  who  conscientiously  dif- 
fered from  him  in  his  religious  or  political  views.  lie  always 
deprecated  violence  and  extreme  party  spirit.  He  respected 
each  man's  individuality  and  peculiarity,  when  not  interfering 
with  another  man's  rights.  It  is  not  strange  that,  when  in 
Bloomington,  associating  with  God-fearing  men  in  the  town 
and  in  the  faculty  of  the  University,  he  professed  his  faith  in 
the  Divine  Savior  and  became  a  member  of  and  an  office-bearer 
in  the  Presbyterian  church.  Dr.  Owen  died  March  25,  1890,  at 
New  Harmony,  from  the  effects  of  poison  accidentally  taken, 
while  engaged  in  his  philosophical  studies  with  youthful  ardor. 
In  1887  he  contested  for  a  high  pri/e  offered  by  the  Belgium 
Government,  which  he  did  not  win,  but  was  one  of  the  few  of 
whom  honorable  mention  was  made.  Dr.  Owen  married  Miss 
Annie  Neif,  daughter  of  Joseph  Keif. 

PROF.  AMZl   ATWATEK 

Was  born  November  9,  1889,  at  Mantua.  Portage  County.  Ohio, 
and  commenced  his  classical  education  at  the  Eclectic  Institute, 
which  afterwards  became  Hiram  College.  On  leaving  the  In- 
stitute he  attended  the  Northwestern  Christian  University

(now  Butler),  at  Indianapolis,  and  remaining  there  a  short 
time  he  entered  the  Junior  class  of  Indiana  University  in  1864. 
In  his  senior  year  he  was  appointed  Principal  pro  tern,  of  the 
Preparatory  Department  of  the  University,  taking  the  place  of 
Prof.  James  Woodburn,  the  Principal  of  this  department,  who 
died  shortly  before  the  commencement  of  the  college  year, 
1865-6.  In  1866  he  graduated,  receiving  the  degree  A.  B.,  and 
three  years  later  the  degree  A.  M.  After  graduation  he  was 
made  adjunct-  Professor  of  Languages  and  Principal  of  the 
Preparatory  Department  of  the  University.  This  position  he 
held  until  1868,  when  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Latin  and 
Greek  in  Hiram  College.  While  holding  that  position  he  was 
called  to  the  pastorate  of  the  Disciples'  Church,  at  Mentor,  Ohio. 
In  1870  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Latin  in  Indiana  Univer- 
sity, and  returned  to  Bloomington,  where  he  has  since  re- 
mained, and  has,  since  1888,  been  Vice  President  of  the  Uni- 
versity. 

Professor  Atwater  is  well  known  as  an  able  and  interesting 
lecturer,  especially  on  educational  topics.  He  lectured  in  the 
northeastern  portion  of  the  State  in  the  interest  of  the  Univer- 
sity in  the  summer  of  1875.  and  has  since  frequently  lectured 
on  these  and  kindred  subjects  before  literary  societies  and  in- 
stitutes in  the  adjacent  States. 

lie  married  Miss  Cortensia  Mnnson. 

CYRUS    MORRIS    DODD 

Was  horn  in  Broadalbin,  N.  Y.,  in  1826.  His  mother  was  a 
Harrison,  of  the  New  Jersey  Harrisons,  his  father  a  lineal  de- 
scendant of  Daniel  Dodd,  who  came  from  England  and  settled 
in  Bradford,  Conn.,  in  1646.  His  children  went  to  Newark,  N. 
J.,  among  the  first  settlers  of  that  city.  The  family  has  fur- 
nished its  full  proportion  of  men  of  superior  talents  and  edu- 
cation, and  has  maintained  during  two  centuries  the  old 
Puritan  characteristics  of  piety  and  morality,  of  energy  and  of 
thrift, 

Cyrus  Dodd's  first  ten  years  were  spent  in  Newark.  When 
ten  years  old  he  went  to  Bloomfield,  New  Jersey,  where  he 
spent  his  boyhood  and  prepared  for  college  in  the  old  brick 
academy.  His  earliest  training  was  given  by  his  father,  who 
was  ambitious  to  give  him  a  good  education.  When  seventeen 


130  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

years  old  he  began  to  earn  his  own  schooling  by  teaching,  for 
which  occupation  he  seems  to  have  had  a  natural  instinct, 
which  was  stirred  by  his  observation  of  the  prevailing  im- 
perfect methods  and  results.  In  1845  he  entered  the  sophomore 
class  of  Williams  College.  His  intention  had  been  to  go  to 
Princeton  for  the  junior  class  of  which  he  had  been  prepared, 
and  to  which  all  of  his  family  and  all  of  his  friends  had  gone  or 
were  going.  But  the  hills  of  Williamstown  and  Dr.  Mark  Hop- 
kins were  the  attractions  which  took  him  to  Williams  College. 
After  a  year  of  study  there,  he  left  to  teach  for  several  years 
in  ]S"ew  Jersey  and  Maryland.  In  1854  he  returned  to  the  col- 
lege and  entered  the  third  term  of  the  junior  year,  graduating' 
in  1855.  After  teaching  about  two  years  in  Salem,  X.  J.,  he 
married  Miss  Mary  C.  Latham,  of  Williamstown,  and  went  to 
Kew  Brunswick,  X.  J.,  where  lie  taught  for  a  year.  He  then 
entered  the  Presbyterian  Theological  Seminary  at  Allegheny 
City,  Pa.,  where  he  remained  a  year  and  a  half,  teaching  about 
half  the  time,  and  writing  editorials  for  his  support.  About 
this  time  he  received  a  call  to  the  Latin  chair  of  Jefferson  Col- 
lege at  Cannonsburgh,  Pa.,  where  he  remained  live  years.  He 
was  then,  in  1886,  elected  to  the  chair  of  mathematics  in  Indi- 
ana University,  vacated  by  Professor  Kirkwood,  continuing  in 
this  position  a  year,  and  on  the  return  of  Professor  Kirkwood, 
its  former  occupant,  to  the  University,  Professor  Dodd  was 
transferred  to  the  chair  of  Latin  Languages  and  Literature. 
In  1867  Professor  Dodd  received  a  call  from  his  Abn<i  Moter 
to  the  chair  of  mathematics,  which  he  accepted,  and  soon  after 
removed  to  Williamstown,  where  he  still  resides.  Professor 
Dodd  was  not  only  an  able  mathematician  and  an  excellent 
classical  scholar,  but  he  was  well  versed  in  English  literature. 
He  was  a  great  lover  of  books,  as  his  well  selected  library  at- 
tests. Professor  Dodd  could  work  not  only  extraordinarily 
well  with  his  head,  but  also  with  his  hands  ;  was  skillful  in  the 
use  of  physical  apparatus.  He  could  print  a  book  and  then 
bind  it  as  well  as  if  brought  up  to  these  arts;  could  build  a 
house  and  make  its  furniture  as  well  as  the  trained  carpenter 
or  cabinet  maker.  His  principal  enjoyment,  however,  was  in

sions of  this  wonderful  hymn  than  any  person  in  the  country. 
His  three  daughters,  in  their  love  of  literature  and  poetry, 
seem  to  he  following  in  the  footsteps  of  their  father.  During 
his  absence  from  Bloomington,  while  in  New  York  engaged 
with  Professor  Wylie  in  purchasing  hooks  for  the  University 
library,  Professor  Dodd's  dwelling  was  burned,  and  many  of 
his  valuable  books  as  well  as  manuscripts  were  destroyed. 

A  sadder  loss  has  lately  (1887)  befallen  the  Professor  by  the 
decease  of  his  accomplished  daughter  Alice. 

UEORUE   WASHINGTON  HOSS 

AVas  born  November  6,  1824,  in  Brown  County,  Ohio.  The 
family  removed,  when  he  was  twelve  years  old,  to  Marion 
County.  Indiana.  Until  he  was  twenty-one,  he  worked  on  the 
farm,  acquiring  such  education  as  the  county  schools  afforded 
and  his  limited  time  permitted.  He  then  entered  Indiana  As- 
bury  University  occasionally  interrupting  his  regular  studies  by 
teaching,  in  order  that  he  might  gain  means  for  completing  his 
college  course.  He  graduated  in  1850,  receiving  the  degrees  of 
A.  B.  and  A.  M.  In  1872  he  received  the  honorary  degree  of 
LL.  D.  from  Indiana  University.  In  the  year  of  his  gradua- 
tion he  was  elected  Principal  of  the  Muncie  Academy.  Two 
years  after  this  he  removed  to  Indianapolis,  where  he  resided 
for  many  years.  In  1855  he  was  teacher  of  Mathematics  in  In- 
diana Female  College.  In  the  next  year  he  was  first  literary 
teacher  in  the  Institution  for  the  Blind.  This  position  he  oc- 
cupied for  two  years,  and  then  was  made  President  of  the  Fe- 
male College,  which  he  held  for  one  year,  when  he  accepted  the 
position  of  Professor  of  Mathematics  in  Butler  University, 
where  he  continued  eight  years. 

In  1864  he  was  elected  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruc- 
tion. Two  years  before  this  he  had  succeeded  to  the  editor- 
ship of  the  Indiana  School  Journal,  which  he  conducted  dur- 
ing his  term  of  office  till  1871,  when  he  turned  it  over,  with  a 
subscription  list  increased  to  1,600,  to  Professor  W.  A.  Bell,  who 
still  (1886)  ably  edits  and  publishes  it. 

Superintendent  Hoss  entered  upon  the  duties  of  his  office  of 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  in  March,  1865,  well 
fitted  for  the  post  by  his  zeal  and  energy  and  his  practical  ex- 
perience as  a  teacher.  His  capability  is  well  indicated  by  his

actions  MS  well  as  his  reports.  lie  \vas  an  advocate  for  the  law 
which  the  General  Assembly  had  passed  in  favor  of  local  taxa- 
tion of  corporations  for  the  support  of  common  schools,  in  op- 
position to  the  adverse  decision  of  the  Supreme  Court,  which 
had  declared  the  law  unconstitutional.  Through  his  able  ad- 
vocacy of  his  position  in  his  report,  the  General  Assembly  of 
1867  enacted  a  new  law  authorizing  special  tuition  taxes,  and 
this  law  now  stands. 

In  1865  Superintendent  Il-oss  was  elected  President  of  the 
State  Teachers'  Association.  Two  years  later  he  issued  a  call 
to  the  Faculties  of  the  colleges  to  organi/A1  a  collegiate  asso- 
ciation to  cooperate  with  the  Teachers'  Association,  about  to 
meet  in  New  Albany. 

In  1866  Superintendent  I  loss  was  rcelected  and  served  till 
1868,  when  he  resigned  to  enter  upon  the  Professorship  of 
English  Literature  in  Indiana  University,  President  Ilobbs,  of 
Earlham  College,  being  appointed  his  successor. 

Professor  Hoss  resigned  his  professorship  in  1872,  having  ac- 
cepted the  Presidency  of  the  State  Xormal  School  at  Emporia, 
Kansas.  After  a  year  of  service  there  he  was  recalled  to  In- 
diana University  as  Professor  of  English  Literature  and  Elo- 
cution. This  position  he  held  with  credit  to  himself  and  profit 
to  the  University  till  1880,  when  he  resigned  and  removed  to 
Topeka,  Kansas,  where  he  became  proprietor  and  editor  of  the 
Educationalist,  the  leading  school  journal  of  Kansas.  In  1884 
he  was  elected  Professor  of  English  Classics  and  Oratory  in 
Baker  University,  Baldwin,  Kansas,  which  position  he  now 
(1888)  holds. 

In  addition  to  the  able  and  carefully  prepared  reports  as 
Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  and  two  minor  reports 
made  to  the  Governor,  his  official  publications,  ]xr.  Hoss  has 
prepared  several  small  books  for  the  use  of  schools.  He  mar- 
ried Miss  Harriet  J.  Mitchell,  of  Portland,  Maine.

Professor  of  Latin  in  Butler  University,  Irvington,  Ind.  This 
position  lie  still  (1889)  holds.  In  1862-5  he  served  as  a  private 
soldier  in  the  U.  S.  Signal  Service.  Mr.  Butler  married  Miss 
Julia  Dunn,  of  Indianapolis,  Xovember  3,  1868. 

ELI    LONG 

Was  horn  at  Versailles,  Ivy.,  .June  16,  1837,  graduated  at  the 
Military  School  near  Frankfort,  Ky.,  in  1855.  Soon  after  he 
was  appointed  Second  Lieutenant  in  First  LT.  S.  Cavalry,  and 
served  six  weeks  at  Lecompton,  Kan.,  during  the  troubles  in 
that  region.  In  the  summer  of  1857  he  was  with  his  regiment 
on  the  Cheyenne  expedition,  and  was  afterwards  in  command 
of  General  Simmer's  body-guard  in  the  light  with  the  Indians 
in  1857-58,  and  in  the  same  years  mail  escort  on  the  SantaFe

Kiowa  and  Comanche  expedition,  under  Major  Sedgwick.  In 
1861  he  prevented  loss  and  serious  damage  to  the  Government 
by  surprising  and  capturing  near  Fort  Lyon  a  well  armed  com- 
pany of  thirty-eight  men  and  fifty  horses,  on  their  way  to  join 
the  Confederate  General  Price  in  Missouri.  On  this  trip  Lieu- 
tenant Long  moved  one  hundred  and  twenty  miles  in  thirty- 
two  hours,  with  the  loss  of  but  one  horse,  and  was  promoted  to 
be  First  Lieutenant,  March  21,  and  to  Captain,  May  24,  1861,

he  was  wounded  in  the  shoulder  while  leading  his  command  in 
a  charge  made  by  his  regiment.  He  was,  for  gallant  conduct, 
appointed  Colonel  of  the  Fourth  Ohio  Volunteer  Cavalry. 
Shortly  after  receiving  this  command  Colonel  Long  led  in  a 
charge  against  the  enemy,  in  which  fifty  prisoners  and  many 
horses  were  captured.  In  June,  1863,  Col.  Long  was  appointed 
to  command  a  brigade  of  the  First,  Third,  Fourth  and  Tenth 
Ohio  Volunteers  and  Second  Kentucky  Volunteer  Cavalry  regi-

freesboro,  Tenn.  He  commanded  his  brigade  at  the  defeat  of 
the  rebels  at  Elk  river,  was  at  the  battle  of  Chickamauga  and 
at  the  discomfiture  of  General  Wheeler's  command,  by  which 
Chattanooga  was  secured  to  the  United  States  forces.  lie  was 
also  at  the  engagements  at  McMinnville  and  Farmington,  Tex.? 
and  at  the  former  place  he  received  a  wound.  General  Long 
was  favorably  mentioned  in  the  official  reports  for  his  gallant 
conduct  at  McMinnville,  and  also  for  his  expedition  during  the 
battle  of  Missionary  Ridge,  where  he  destroyed  thirty  miles 
of  railroad.  AVith  his  brigade,  he  participated  in  the  complete 
rout  of  General  Wheeler  at  Calhoun.  In  1804  he  took  part 
with  his  command  in  the  reconnoisance  of  Dalton  with  the 
Sixteenth  Army  Corps.  In  connection  with  the  Seventeenth 
Army  Corps,  under  General  Blair,  went  to  Kingston,  Georgia, 
defeating  General  Roddy  on  the  way.  He  joined  the  army  un- 
der General  Sherman,  and  participated  in  nearly  all  the  army 
operations  under  his  command  in  1864.  In  August,  1864,  he 
was  appointed  Brigadier  General  of  Volunteers.  Returning 
after  leave  of  absence,  owing  to  his  wounds,  he  rejoined  his 
command  at  Nashville,  Tenn.  After  this  he  went  South,  and 
with  1,250  men  in  line,  took  Selma,  Ala.,  with  many  prisoners 
and  munitions  of  war. 

General  Long  was  frequently  mentioned  in  reports  for  gallant 
conduct.  He  retired  as  Major  General,  U.  S.  Army,  but  was 
reduced  to  the  grade  of  Brigadier  General  by  act  of  Congress, 
1875.  In  1868  was  Professor  of  Military  Science  and  Civil  En- 
gineering in  Indiana  University;  afterward  studied  law  at  Cin- 
cinnati, and  was  admitted  to  practice  in  Brooklyn.  N.  Y.,  in 
1870. 

JOHN  UPFOLD  PETTIT 

Was  born  in  Onondaga  County,  New  York,  September  11, 1820  ; 
was  educated  in  the  Onondaga  County  schools,  afterward  in 
Cazenovia  Academy,  Madison  County ;  attended  Hamilton  Col- 
lege for  some  time,  and  afterward  Union  College,  Scheneetady, 
during  the  presidency  of  Dr.  Nott,  graduating  B.  A.  in  1839. 
Mr.  Pettit  studied,,  law  with  Dr.  Selkanoff,  and  also  attended 
the  law  school  at  Pompey,  New  York,  under  Daniel  Gott. 
After  removing  to  Indiana,  he  continued  his  study  of  law  with 
the  Hon.  D.  D.  Pratt,  of  Logan  sport,  and  in  1841  was  admitted 
to  the  bar,  commencing  the  practice  of  law  in  Wabash,  Indiana,

in  flit1  same  year,  lie  was  elected  to  the  State  Legislature  in 
1844.  In  1850  lie  was  appointed  U.  S.  Consul  at  Maranhao, 
Brazil.  Mr.  Petti t  was  appointed  by  Governor  Wright  Judge 
of  the  8th  Judicial  District.  Resigning  this  office  he  was,  in 
1854,  elected  representative  to  Congress  from  the  llth  Con- 
gressional District.  Tiiis  position  he  held  during  the  34th, 
35th  and  36th  Congresses,  and  in  1864  was  again  elected  to 
Congress  and  chosen  Speaker  of  the  House.  In  1869-70  Judge 
Pettit  was  Professor  of  Law  in  Indiana  University,  from 
which,  in  1871,  he  received  the  degree  LL.  D.  In  1872  he  was 
elected  .Judge  of  the  17th  Judicial  District. 

At  the  outbreak  of  the  rebellion  he  engaged  actively  in  re- 
cruiting soldiers.  In  1862  in  less  than  three  weeks  he  mustered 
thirty-five  hundred  men,  and  in  the  following  year  assisted  in 
organizing  the  Orphans'  Home,  at  Knightstown,  Indiana.  In 
1865,  after  others  had  failed,  he  was  largely  instrumental  in 
procuring  a  commutation  of  the  sentence  of  Bowles  and  Milli- 
gan,  who  had  been  condemned  to  death  by  the  United  States 
Military  Commission  for  treasonable  conspiracy  in  Indiana. 
On  May  2  an  order  came  from  President  Johnson  to  carry  into 
effect,  the  sentence,  without  delay.  The  date  fixed  was  June  2, 
1865.  Judge  Pettit  was  dispatched  to  Washington  by  Gov- 
ernor Morton  to  secure  from  the  President  a  commutation  of 
the  sentence.  Through  the  energy  of  Judge  Pettit,  acting 
under  the  earnest  direction  of  Governor  Morton,  the  sentences 
of  these  men  were  commuted.  Judge  Pettit  was  a  ripe  scholar t 
and  a  great  reader.  He  was  well  acquainted  with  history, 
poetry,  and  the  current  literature  of  the  day.  He  excelled  in 
his  knowledge  of  law.  Very  few  appeals  were  taken  from 
his  decisions,  and  very  rarely  did  the  Supreme  Court  fail  to 
affirm  his  judgments.  In  religion  he  was  an  Episcopalian.  At 
the  time  of  his  death,  which  occurred  March  21,  1881,  at  AVa- 
bash,  Indiana,  he  had  been  appointed  paymaster  to  disburse  the 
principal  due  to  the  Miami  Indians. 

Judge  Pettit  married  Miss  Brenton,  who  survives  him. 

JOHN    A.    REUBELT 

Was  born  February  22,  1819,  in  a  village  of  Franconia  in 
Germany.  He  received  his  theoretical  education  in  his  native 
land  and  when  twenty-one  years  old  came  to  America.  As  no 
d'egrees  in  course,  in  the  American  sense  of  the  expression,  are

conferred  in  Germany,  he  of  course  received  none,  but  in  or 
about  1858  lie  received  the  honorary  degree  of  A.  M.  from 
Dickinson  College,  Carlisle,  Pa.,  and  sometime  afterwards  the 
degree  D.  I),  from  Baldwin  University,  Ohio.  Nearly  all  the 
time  since  his  arrival  in  America,  he  has  been  engaged  in  teach- 
ing; he  has  been  employed  in  schools  of  every  grade  and  has 
filled  different  chairs  in  colleges  and  universities.  In  1868  lie- 
was  professor  of  modern  languages  in  Indiana  Asbury  Uni- 
versity, and  in  1869-70  in  Indiana  University.  In  1870  he  re- 
moved to  Henderson,  Ky.,  where  he  was  for  some  years  Prin- 
cipal of  a  classical  school.  Dr.  Reubelt  has  written  much  for 
various  quarterlies  and  monthlies,  and  other  periodicals.  He 
translated  Gess'  u  Person  of  Christ,"  published  at  Andover, 
1870,  and  translated  into  German  uGreeley's  Great  Conflict," 
and  in  the  same  language  edited  a  "Manual  of  Natural  His- 
tory," and  published  many  other  smaller  works  and  tracts  in 
both  languages.  Dr.  Reubelt  is  now  (1889)  Principal  of  an 
academy  at  Ghent,  Ky.

"Was  born  in  Flensburg,  Schleswig-Holstein,  Germany,  Decem- 
ber 11,  1846.  He  received  his  education  at  the  Gymnasium  of 
Plon  and  at  the  University  of  Wiirzburg.  He  came  to  Amer- 
ica in  I860,  and  went  first  to  St.  Paul,  Minnesota.  He  re- 
mained in  Minnesota  about  a  year,  teaching  a  part  of  the  time. 
In  1870  he  came  to  Indiana.  He  engaged  first  in  institute 
work,  and  in  the  fall  took  charge  of  a  school  in  Belleville. 
His  enthusiastic  work  in  the  institutes  had  attracted  the  atten- 
tion of  some  of  the  teachers  in  DePauw — then  Asbury — Uni- 
versity, and  when  inquiry  was  made  concerning  a  teacher  of 
modern  languages  for  Indiana  University,  he  was  highly  rec- 
ommended, and  Dr.  Owen  was  then  commissioned  to  visit  him 
and  offer  him  a  temporary  place  in  the  University.  He  ac- 
cepted the  place  and  began  his  work  in  November,  1870.  So 
well  did  he  succeed  in  his  work  that  in  the  following  year  the 
place  was  made  permanent.  In  July,  1873,  he  was  married  to 
Miss  Louise  Wylie,  of  Bloomington.  In  1874,  having  been 
elected  to  take  charge  of  the  advanced  course  in  the  State 
Normal  School  at  Terre  Haute,  he  left  the  University,  only  to 
return  again  in  1876,  the  advanced  course  having  been  abol-

ished  because  the  expense  of  maintaining  it  was  too  great  in 
proportion  to  the  number  of  students.  In  1880  he  again  re- 
signed his  place  in  the  University,  and  in  November  of  the 
same  year  he  was  appointed  by  President  Chadbourne  to  the 
Chair  of  Modern  Languages  in  Williams  College,  Mass.  Dr. 
Chadbourne  resigned  soon  afterward  and  the  trustees  did  not 
confirm  the  appointment,  but  left  it  to  the  new  President  to  fill 
the  place  as  lie  pleased.  Without  inquiry  as  to  the  success  of 
Professor  Boi sen's  work,  and  without  reference  to  the  promise 
made  by  Dr.  Chadbourne  that  the  appointment  should  be  made 
permanent  if  his  teaching  was  satisfactory,  Dr.  Carter  chose 
another  for  the  place.  Sensitive  in  the  extreme,  Professor 
Boisen  felt  most  keenly  the  injustice  with  which  he  was 
treated.  He  was  now  forced  to  give  up  a  trip  to  Europe,  and 
spend  tlu1  summer  at  Martha's  Vineyard,  where  there  was  a 
summer  institute.  In  the  fall  he  went  to  Boston,  where  he 
gave  private  lessons,  and  also  prepared  two  books  for  publica- 
tion. The  "  First  Course  in  German"  was  written  for  use  in 
his  own  classes,  and  not  a  very  large  edition  was  published. 
.Since  his  death  Professor  Bernhardt  has  enlarged  it  and  added 
a  second  volume,  and  it  is  now  used  in  many  schools.  Being 
appointed  a  Director  of  the  Martha's  Vineyard  Summer  Insti- 
tute, lie  spent  a  second  summer  at  Cottage  City,  and  completed 
the  manuscript  of  his  second  book,  "The  Preparatory  Book  of 
German  Prose,"  which  is  quite  extensively  used.  In  1882  he 
was  appointed  Sub-Master  of  the  Elliott  School  in  Boston. 
The  work  in  this  school  gave  him  great  pleasure,  but  it  also 
took  all  his  time  and  he  could  accomplish  but  little  outside 
work,  and  he  had  planned  to  do  a  great  deal.  Accordingly  in 
1883  he  very  gladly  accepted  a  call  to  the  Lawreneeville  School 
in  Xe\v  Jersey,  for  there  he  would  have  leisure  for  other  work. 
The  beginning  of  the  work  at  Lawrenceville  was  greatly  sad- 
dened by  the  death  of  his  brother,  Christian,  a  young  man  of 
noble  character.  His  own  health  was  not  so  good  as  in  former 
years,  but  he  went  to  work  with  his  accustomed  energy  and 
earnestness.  His  love  for  the  boys  under  his  care  was  untir- 
ing. Everything  he  could  do  to  make  them  happier  and  bet- 
ter was  done,  and  they  appreciated  his  love  for  them  and  his 
devotion  to  their  interests.  As  soon  as  he  was  fairly  settled 
in  his  new  home  he  began  to  work  upon  his  first  volume  of 
Language  Lessons,  a  book  for  use  in  the  public  schools.  Hut

suddenly  lie  was  taken  violently  ill;  the  doctor  said  his  heart 
was  affected.  In  two  or  three  days  he  was  up,  and  insisted  on 
going  to  school.  He  heard  all  his  classes  on  Monday,  January 
21,  1884.  About  eight  o'clock  that  evening,  almost  without 
warning,  he  had  left  us.  The  stone  that  marks  his  last  rest- 
ing place,  after  names  and  dates,  bears  this  inscription  :

School  as  a  tribute  to  his  worth  as  a  man   and   his  genius  as  a

land,  Indiana.  He  received  his  early  education  in  tjie  Wave- 
land  Academy,  where  he  resided  till  the  death  of  his  Father,  in 
1875.  At  sixteen  years  of  age  he  was  prepared  to  enter  col- 
lege, but  on  account  of  delicate  health  he  learned  the  art  of 
tanning  with  David  Alann.  After  becoming  master  of  the  art 
he  returned  to  the  "Waveland  Academy,  and  after  studying  six

1860.  Soon  after  graduation  he  was  chosen  Professor  of  Xat- 
ural  Science  in  the  Clinton  Institute,  and  early  in  1861  was  put 
in  charge  of  the  Rockville  public  school,  where  lie  remained

From  1862  till  1870  he  practiced  law  in  Newport.  In  1864 
lie  was  chosen  Representative  of  Yerniillion  County.  He 
served  in  the  Legislature  with  great  distinction,  in  the  regular 
and  special  sessions.  As  a  member  of  the  Committee  on  Kdu- 
cation  he  drafted  the  present  School  Law,  which  was  passed, 
and  presented  by  himself  to  Governor  Morton,  who  signed  it 
in  his  presence.  The  law  was  passed  with  but  little  alteration 
from  the  original  draft. 

Judge  Rhoads  also  introduced  and  warmly  supported  the 
bill  for  organizing  the  Normal  School  at  Terre  Haute,  in  con- 
sideration of  which  the  teachers  of  the  State  unanimously 
chose  him  to  deliver  the  annual  address  at  their  meeting  in 
LaFavette,  in  1866.  In  1868  he  was  elected  Professor  of  Greek

in  the  Indiana  University  but  declined,  preferring  to  study  law. 
He  was  elected  a  Trustee  of  the  University,  serving  from  1868 
till  he  resigned  in  1872.  When  a  Trustee  he,  in  connection 
with  Dr.  Cloud,  of  Evansville,  was  the  committee  (Dr.  Cloud 
entrusting  the  whole  management  of  the  affair  to  him)  to  pur- 
chase the  large  and  valuable  collection  of  minerals  arid  geolog- 
ical specimens  which  Dr.  David  D.  Owen  had  collected  in  his 
surveys  as  United  States  Geologist  and  had  obtained  by  ex- 
change and  purchase.  The  sum  paid  for  it  was  $20,000. 

In  1870  Judge  Rhoads  was  elected  Professor  of  Law  in 
Indiana  University,  which  chair  he  filled  till  1877.  On  his 
resignation  the  school  was  closed. 

He  then  traveled  for  some  time  in  Europe,  and  while  there 
made  the  acquaintance  of  many  men,  eminent  in  law  and 
science.  He  studied  with  great  care  the  financial  and  econo- 
mic questions  presented  there,  and  made  a  specialty  of  the 
matter  of  State  control  of  railroads,  as  presented  in  Belgium 
and  in  Germany. 

In  1868  Mr.  Rhoads  was  elected  Judge  of  the  Court  of  Com- 
mon Pleas,  in  the  district  composed  of  Montgomery,  Fountain, 
and  YermiHion  Counties,  but  by  some  frauds  in  the  Covington 
district,  he  was  counted  out.  The  perpetrator  of  this  fraud 
has  since  confessed  it.  In  April,  1881,  Judge  Rhoads  was  ap- 
pointed by  Governor  Porter,  Judge  of  the  Superior  Court  of 
Vigo  County. 

In  addition  to  Judge  Rhoad's  distinction  as  a  scholar,  law- 
yer and  politician,  he  has  also  some  claim  to  distinction  as  a 
scientist.  In  1862  Judge  Rhoads  made  a  geological  tour 
among  the  hills  of  Sand  Creek,  and  there  unearthed  a  stone,  in 
which  was  imbedded  a  fossil  never  before  classified.  This  fos- 
sil was  sent  to  Professor  Meek,  the  paleontologist  of  the 
Smithsonian  Institute,  who  pronounced  it  new  and  valuable. 
It  is  figured  in  the  Fifth  Volume  of  the  Illinois  Geological 
reports.  Dana  and  Agasiz  pronounce  it  the  first  discovery  of 
the  kind,  and  hence  entitled  to  the  discoveror's  name  —  EHJHI- 
chycrinus  Thtberculatus  Rkoadsu. 

JAMES    THOMPSON 

Was  born  September  27,  1828,  in  Franklin,  Delaware  County, 
N".  Y.  His  opportunities  for  intellectual  culture  were  good, 
and  as  he  was  endowed  with  a  mind  of  superior  character,

he  made  good  use  of  his  advantages.  He  attended  the 
Delaware  Literary  Institute  and  Fredonia  Seminary.  When 
nineteen  years  old  he  was  appointed  a  cadet  in  the  U.  S.  Mili- 
tary Academy  at  West  Point.  He  was  graduated  with  honor 
July  1,  1851,  standing  Xo.  6  in  a  large  class.  He  was  pro- 
moted to  Brevet  Lieutenant,  Second  Artillery,  on  the  same 
day.  He  served  in  the  garrison  at  Newport  Barracks,  Ky.,  in 
1851.  In  1852  he  served  at  Fort  Wood  as  Second  Lieutenant, 
Second  Artillery.  He  was  next  ordered  to  Fort  M on  1  trie, 
S.  C.,  where  he  continued  till  1854.  August  19,  1856,  he  was 
married  to  Miss  Julia  M.  Taliaferro,  of  Newport,  Ky.  From 
1854  to  1857  Lieutenant  Thompson  was  Assistant  Professor  of 
Mathematics  in  the  Military  Academy.  In  185(J  he  was  in  the 
garrison  at  Fort  Independence,  Boston  Harbor.  Mass.  In 
1860-61  he  was  on  frontier  duty  at  Fort  Brown,  Texas,  and  in 
the  latter  part  of  1861  at  Fort  Hamilton,  N.  Y.  While  at 
Fort  Brown  the  Rebellion  was  inaugurated,  and  Lieutenant 
Thompson  was  one  of  the  tirst  prisoners  of  war.  lie  was 
paroled  and  came  to  Xewport,  where  he  remained  until  ex- 
changed. He  served  during  the  whole  of  the  War  of  the  Ke- 
bellion — in  defense  of  Fort  Pickens  in  1861,  in  the  Manassas 
campaign,  and  in  battle  of  Bull  Run,  July  21, 1861.  Before  this 
campaign  he  had  been  promoted  to  a  captaincy  for  gallant 
conduct.  He  next  served  in  the  defenses  about  Washington, 
D.  C.  Next  we  find  him  in  the  Peninsular  campaign  (Army  of 
the  Potomac),  engaged  in  the  siege  of  Yorktown,  at  the  battle 
of  Williamsburg  in  1862,  in  the  battle  of  Fair  Oaks  May  31, 
1862,  in  skirmishes  on  the  25th  to  29th  of  June,  1862,  near 
Seven  Pines,  and  in  the  battle  of  Grlendale,  June  30,  1862.  For 
his  meritorious  and  gallant  services  at  this  battle  he  was  bre- 
vetted  Major.  On  the  following  day  he  fought  at  the  battle  of 
Malvern  Hill,  and  on  the  next  day  in  a  skirmish  at  Harrison's 
Landing.  For  about  a  month  he  was  absent  on  sick-leave. 
After  this  he  served  as  Chief  of  Artillery  in  defense  of  Cin- 
cinnati during  the  rebel  raid  in  September,  1862.  He  next 
served  in  the  department  of  Ohio,  and  while  in  the  army  of 
Kentucky  he  was  engaged  in  the  defense  of  Franklin,  Tenn., 
and  in  the  battle  of  Chicamauga,  Ga.,  in  September,  1863. 
He  organized  an  artillery  regiment  in  Kentucky  in  1863  and 
1864,  and  was  on  mustering  and  disbursing  duty  at  Louisville, 
Ky.  (March  to  May),  1864,  and  on  the  same  duty  at  Cincinnati, 


HISTORY    OF    mDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  141 

Ohio,  immediately  afterward.  In  September,  1864,  he  was  in 
the  garrison  at  Fort  Point,  Cal.,  and  on  mustering  and  dis- 
bursing duty  at  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  in  1865,  and  on  recruiting 
service  in  January,  1866,  at  the  same  place.  Major  Thompson 
was  bre vetted  Lieutenant  Colonel  March  13,  1865.  Such  is  the 
account  given  of  Colonel  Thompson  in  the  U.  S.  Army  Regis- 
ter. In  1860  he  was  Commissioner  of  Education  for  Ten- 
nessee under  General  Howard,  and  had  charge  of  the  educa- 
tional interests  of  the  freedmen.  It  was  under  his  superinten- 
dence that  Central  Tennessee  College  at  Nashville  was  founded. 
The  freedmen,  for  whose  mental  and  moral  condition  he  has 
done  so  much,  loved  him,  and  gave  his  name  to  the  chapel  of 
the  College.  In  1859  failing  health  compelled  his  retirement 
from  the  army,  or,  as  expressed  by  the  official  Army  Register, 
"he  was  retired  from  disability  resulting  from  long  and  faith- 
ful service."  In  1870  he  was  offered  and  accepted  a  Professor- 
ship of  Military  Science  and  Civil  Engineering  in  Indiana 
University.  He  remained  in  Bloomington  until  1876,  when  his 
health  became  so  bad  that  he  resigned  and  returned  to  New- 
port. 

Colonel  Thompson,  the  brave  soldier  and  the  man  of  science, 
was  an  humble  follower  of  Christ  and  an  active  member  in  the 
Methodist  Episcopal  Church.  Both  in  Bloomington  and  as  a 
member  of  Grace  Church,  Newport,  Ky.,  with  which  he  had 
connected  himself  in  1866,  he  held  a  number  of  church  offices ; 
and  in  all  these  offices,  whether  as  steward,  Sunday-school 
teacher  or  superintendent,  he  discharged  all  the  duties  devolv- 
ing upon  him  with  energy  and  zeal.  During  the  last  years  of 
his  illness  he  suffered  much.  On  Friday,  February  13,  1880,  he 
departed  this  life.  In  the  words  of  his  pastor,  Rev.  M.  Mul- 
lenix,  to  whose  obituary  notice  we  are  indebted  for  a  part  of 
this  sketch,  "  Colonel  Thompson  was  one  of  the  wisest,  truest 
and  purest  men  we  have  ever  known." 

JUDGE    SAMUEL    E.    PERKINS. 

Samuel  E.  Perkins  was  born  in  Brattleboro,  Vt.,  011  the  6th 
of  December,  1811.  He  was  left  without  parents  or  property 
when  five  years  old,  and  was  adopted  into  the  family  of  Wil- 
liam Baker,  a  respectable  farmer  of  Conway,  Mass.,  with  whom 
he  lived  and  labored  till  he  was  twenty-one.  During  this 


14:2  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA     UNIVERSITY. 

period,  by  the  aid  of  three  months'  schooling  a  year  in  the 
State  free  schools  during  the  winter  months,  and  by  devoting 
rainy  days  and  evenings  to  books,  he  secured  himself  a  good 
English  education  and  made  a  beginning  in  the  study  of  the 
dead  languages.  After  he  had  reached  his  majority  he  pursued 
his  studies  in  different  schools,  working  mornings  and  even- 
ings and  during  vacations  to  raise  money  for  tuition  and  sup- 
port. The  last  year  of  this  course  of  studies  was  spent  in  the 
Yates  County  Academy,  New  York,  of  which  Seymour  H. 
Gookins,  a  brother  of  Judge  Gookins,  of  Terre  Haute,  was 
Principal.  Sometime  about  1834  he  attended  the  Fellenburg 
Academy  at  Shelburn,  Mass.  After  .this  lie  studied  law  in 
Perm  Yan,  X.  Y.,  writing  in  law  offices  for  his  board  and  tui- 
tion. 

In  the  fall  of  1836  he  came  alone  on  foot  to  Indiana.  He 
was  not  acquainted  with  any  one  in  the  State.  He  arrived  at 
Richmond  and  spent  the  winter  reading  law  in  the  office  of 
Judge  Borden.  In  the  following  spring  he  was  admitted  to 
the  bar  at  Centreville,  the  county  seat  of  Wayne  County,  but 
opened  his  office  in  Richmond.  He  became  editor  of  the  Jefter- 
sonian,  a  lately  established  Democratic  paper.  He  soon  found 
himself  in  this  place  in  the  midst  of  a  large  and  lucrative 
practice. 

In  1843  he  was  appointed  Prosecuting  Attorney  by  Governor 
Whitcomb  for  that  judicial  district,  and  in  1844  was  one  of  the 
electors  who  gave  the  vote  of  the  State  to  Polk.  In  1841  he 
was  nominated  by  Governor  Whitcomb  to  a  scat  on  the  Su- 
preme Bench,  but  was  not  confirmed.  The  same  thing  oc- 
curred the  following  year.  On  the  adjournment  of  the  Leiris- 
ture  Judge  Perkins  received  from  the  Governor  the  appoint- 
ment for  one  year  to  the  Supreme  Bench.  On  the  reelection 
of  Governor  Whitcomb  Judge  Perkins  was  renominated  and 
his  nomination  was  confirmed  by  the  Senate.  When  called  to 
the  Supreme  Bench  he  was  but  thirty-four  years  old.  'While  on 
the  Supreme  Bench  he  prepared  the  Indiana  Digest,  a  volume 
of  over  800  pages,  requiring  great  research,  and  one  then  of 
great  use  to  and  highly  esteemed  by  the  Indiana  bar.  In  the 
following  year  he  prepared  "  The  Indiana  Practice,"  in  size  and 
appearance  like  the  " Digest."  In  1852  he  was  elected  and  in 
1858  reflected  to  the  Supreme  Bench,  and  again  in  1876.  In 
1857  he  received  the  appointment  of  Professor  of  Law  in  the 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  143 

Northwestern  (now  Butler)  University,  and  in  1870  was  chosen 
Professor  of  Law  in  the  Indiana  University,  which  post  he  oc- 
cupied till  1872. 

Judge  Perkins  was  a  man  of  large  intellect  and  endowments. 
He  was  a  profound  thinker,  a  bold,  incisive  and  scholarly 
writer,  and  .an  enlightened  and  impartial  Judge. 

Judge  Perkins  was  married  twice,  first  in  1838  to  a  daughter 
of  Joseph  Pyle,  of  Richmond,  Ind.  His  second  wife  was  also 
a  daughter  of  Joseph  Pyle. 

Judge  Perkins  died  at  the  close  of  the  year  1880.

trict schools  of  his  native  county.  In  1867  he  entered  the  fresh- 
man class  of  the  University  and  when  in  this  class,  on  account 
of  excellence  as  a  scholar,  he  assisted  in  the  Preparatory  De- 
partment. Immediately  after  his  graduation  he  was  made 
adjunct  Professor  of  Language  and  Principal  of  the  Preparatory 
Department.  He  held  this  position  for  one  college  year,  his 
life  of  much  promise  being  cut  off  by  consumption. 

REV.    JOHN    L.    GAY,    A.    M., 

Was  born  in  Iredell  County,  North  Carolina.  He  was  prepared 
for  college  at  the  Wilkesburg  and  Beford  Academies,  and  en-

mained three  years,  but  through  feeble  health  was  compelled 
to  leave  before  graduation.  After  the  recovery  of  his  health 
he  studied  law  and  practiced  at  the  bar  in  Alabama  for  four 
years.  Abandoning  that  profession  he  was  ordained  a  deacon 
in  the  Episcopal  church  in  1843.  In  1845  he  was  advanced  to 
the  priesthood,  and  has  continuously  exercised  his  office  as  a 
clergyman  ever  since — first  in  Alabama  then  in  Florida,  and 
then  in  the  diocese  of  western  New  York.  From  western  New 
York  he  went  successively  to  Tennessee,  North  Carolina  and 
Delaware,  thence  to  Canada,  in  the  diocese  of  Quebec,  and  after 
that  to  Indiana,  thence  to  Kansas,  and  from  Kansas  to  Missouri, 
where  he  has  resided  arid  labored  for  more  than  eight  years,  in

the  Protestant  Episcopal  church.  He  has  spent  forty-four 
years  of  his  life  in  this  service,  as  an  humble  laborer  in  the 
Lord's  vineyard.  Before  Professor  Gay  studied  law,  he  was 
Professor  of  Languages  in  Alabama  University.  In  1871-72

self-training,  acquired  the  knowledge  necessary  for  the  prac- 
tice of  the  law.  He  was  admitted  to  the  bar  in  1327,  and  for 
sixteen  years  was  a  Judge  on  the  Federal  and  State  Bench.  He

MISS    MARGARET    HEMPHILL    M CALL A. 

Miss  McCalla  received  her  early  education  in  the  Monroe 
County  Female  Seminary,  of  which  for  so  many  years  Mrs.  E. 
McFerson,  now  of  Evansville,  was  the  accomplished  principal. 
Miss  McCalla's  life  has  heen  devoted  to  teaching-.  Her  first 
position  was  in  the  seminary  of  which  she  had  been  a  pupil. 
From  1867  to  1873  she  was  principal  of  the  Ninth  Street  School, 
Evansville.  For  four  years  she  \vas  assistant  in  the  prepara- 
tory department  of  Indiana  University,  and  for  more  than  a 
decade  the  superintendent  of  the  city  graded  schools.  These 
schools,  seldom  numbering  less  than  600  under  her  adminis- 
tration, were  kept  in  excellent  order,  and  well  instructed.  For 
a  number  of  years  Miss  McCalla  was  the  only  lady  superin- 
tendent of  the  public  schools  of  the  State.  After  having  filled 
this  responsible  position  for  about  sixteen  years,  which  she 
has  held  with  so  much  credit  to  herself  and  advantage  to  the 
community,  she  has  now  (1890)  retired  to  private  life.

WALTKR    K.    HOUGHTOX. 

\V.  IJ.  Houghton  \vas  born  October  3,  1845,  near  Mt.  'Pleas- 
ant, Ind.  His  present  (1889)  residence  is  Chicago,  Ills.  He 
received  bis  early  education  at  Mt.  Pleasant,  and  afterward  at 
Washington,  Daviess  County,  Ind.  Before  entering  college  be 
taught  school,  giving  great  satisfaction  to  all  concerned.  As 
a  student  of  the  University,  he  entered  as  a  Freshman  in  1866, 
was  one  year  absent  from  the  college,  and  graduated  with  high 
honor  in  1871.  Immediately  after  graduation  he  was  elected 
to  teach  Greek  and  Latin  in  the  Bedford  Male  and  Female 
College  Seminary.  After  a  year's  service  in  Bedford,  he  was 
invited  to  take  charge  of  the  Freshman  Class  in  Indiana  Uni- 
versity. The  following  year  he  was  elected  by  the  Trustees 
Principal  of  the  Preparatory  Department,  in  which  position  he 
continued  till  1884.  The  Trustees,  at  the  recommendation  of 
the. Faculty,  conferred  on  him  the  degree  A.  M.,  a  year  before 
the  usual  time  in  which  students  who  pursued,  after  graduation, 
a  literary  course,  received  it.  As  Principal  of  the  Preparatory 
Department,  Professor  Houghton  showed  himself  to  be  a 
thoroughly  competent  instructor,  and  an  excellent  disciplin- 
arian ;  not  only  attending  to  the  duties  of  the  school,  but  doing 
a  great  amount  of  work  in  the  study  of  History  and  Govern- 
mental Science.  Professor  Houghton's  efforts  at  objective 
teaching  in  History  attracted  the  attention  of  the  College 
Board,  and  the  President  of  the  Board  (John  I.  Morrison)  sug- 
gested the  embodiment  in  the  form  of  a  publication,  both  for 
the  school  room  and  for  original  work.  This  novel  method  of 
presenting  "History"  also  attracted  the  attention  of  Attorney- 
general  Baldwin  (then  unacquainted  with  Professor  H.)  who 
urged  him  to  undertake  the  Constitutional  History  of  the 
United  States  by  administrations.  This  work  was  not  under- 
taken at  that  time,  owing  to  the  pressure  of  other  matters. 
For  several  years  Professor  H.  was  engaged  in  compiling  in- 
formation on  Historical  and  Governmental  subjects,  to  be  used 
in  future  publications.  In  conjunction  with  Professor  Herman 
B.  Boisen,  the  Professor  of  Modern  Languages  in  the  Univer- 
sity, the  plan  was  laid  for  uniting  the  High  Schools  with  the 
State  University.  The  plan  was  adopted  and  the  result  secured, 
but  the  originators  remained  unknown.  Professor  Houghton 
is  the  author  of  several  works,  some  of  which  are  here  men- 
tioned.

to  Major  General  Richard  Gentry.  He  was  commissioned  as 
Colonel  of  a  volunteer  regiment,  by  Governor  II.  R.  Gamble, 
of  the  Union  army  during  the  Rebellion,  but  having  just  be- 
fore been  elected  to  the  37th  Congress,  he  did  not  serve  in  the

mendatory resolutions  with  regard  to  the  services  of  Mr.  Rol-

was  made  to  the  position  he  took  on  the  slavery  question. 
Although  born  in  the  South,  and  himself  a  large  slave  owner, 
and  representing  the  strongest  slave  district  in  Missouri,  he, 
when  in  Congress,  advocated,  in  a  powerful  speech,  and  voted 
for.  the  13th  Amendment  to  the  Constitution  of  the  United 
States  abolishing  slavery.  He  sustained  President  Lincoln  in 
his  efforts  to  put  down  the  Rebellion.  Although  not  a  member 
of  any  church,  he  was  a  firm  believer  in  the  Christian  religion, 
and  throughout  his  whole  life  an  advocate  of  all  the  agencies 
promotive  of  morality,  and  peace,  and  temperance ;  in  a  word, 
of  everything  calculated  to  improve  and  elevate  the  standard  of 
social  intercourse  among  men.  He  was  not  only  an  eloquent 
speaker,  but  a  clear,  able  writer,  as  many  of  his  speeches  and 
addresses  testify.  Mr.  Rollins  was  married  to  an  accomplished 
lady,  Miss  Mary  E.  Hickman.  Of  his  eleven  children  eight 
survive  (1889).

Massachusetts.  Degree  A.  B.  This  young  man,  of  fine  talents, 
and  much  esteemed  by  his  teachers,  by  his  early  death  disap-

GEORGE  GROVER  WRIGHT  was  born  in  Bloomington,  March 
24,  1820,  the  eighth  child  of  a  family  of  five  sons  and  four 
daughters.  Residence,  DesMoines,  Iowa.  Educated  at  Bloom-

son Centenary  College,  Indianola,  Iowa,  and  Iowa  State  Uni-

HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  183 

was  admitted  to  practice  in  Indiana.  On  moving  to  Kesaugua, 
Iowa,  commenced  practice.  At  this  time  his  pecuniary  cap- 
ital was  zero.  In  1865  Judge  Wright  removed  to  DesMoines, 
his  present  residence  (1889).  In  1847  he  was  elected  Prose- 
cuting Attorney  for  Van  Buren  County.  In  1848,  State  Sen- 
ator, as  a  Whig,  by  a  majority  of  140  in  a  county  having  a 
Democratic  majority  of  about  250.  In  1852  was  voted  unan- 
imously by  the  Whigs  for  the  United  States  Senate,  but  was 
left  in  the  minority,  as  the  district  was  overwhelmingly  Dem- 
ocratic. He  then  returned  to  the  practice  of  law.  In  1855 
was  elected  Chief  Justice  of  the  State  Supreme  Court,  by  the 
Legislature.  This  position  he  held  till  1860,  when  he  declined  a 
reelection  the  fall  before,  by  the  people,  according  to  the  Con- 
stitution of  1857.  In  1860,  a  vacancy  on  the  bench  occurring, 
by  death,  Governor  Kirkwood  requested  Judge  Wright,  to  fill 
the  unexpired  term.  Judge  Wright  was  elected  for  the  unex- 
pired  term  that  fall,  and  in  1865  was  again  reflected  for  a  term 
of  six  years.  In  1870,  while  occupying  this  place,  he  was 
elected  United  States  Senator,  and  entered  upon  the  duties  of 
his  office  March  4,  1871.  Having  served  as  Senator  for  six 
years,  he  declined  a  reelection,  and  in  March,  1877,  returned  to 
the  practice  of  his  profession,  not  however,  engaging  in  gen- 
eral practice,  but  giving  his  attention  only  to  cases  in  the 
United  States  Supreme  Court.  In  1865,  in  connection  with 
two  others,  he  opened  a  law  school  in  DesMoines.  Three  years 
after,  at  the  request  of  the  Regents  of  Iowa  University,  this 
law  school  was  made  a  department  of  this  institution.  Here 
he  continued  to  teach  and  lecture  till  January,  1871,  resigning 
this  place  on  account  of  his  approaching  duties  as  Senator. 
Recently  he  has  engaged  to  return  to  his  law  professorship  for 
a  short  term  each  year.  For  ten  years  past  he  has  nearly  all 
the  time  taken  an  active  part  in  political  campaigns,  generally 
in  Iowa,  sometimes  in  other  States.  Judge  Wright  has  been 
a  diligent  worker,  not  only  within  but  outside  of  his  profes- 
sional duties.  He  has  lectured  two  hundred  times  or  more,  be- 
fore societies  and  colleges  on  commencement  occasions,  before 
lyceums,  for  the  benefit  of  library  associations,  school  libra- 
ries, and  for  many  benevolent,  literary,  church  and  like  asso- 
ciations. Among  these  should  be  mentioned  the  eloquent 
address  delivered  in  the  M.  E.  .Church,  before  the  Alumni  of 
Indiana  University,  June  11,  1889.  Judge  Wright's  ambition 


184  HISTORY    OP    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

has  been,  not  to  accumulate  wealth,  but  rather  to  bring  up  a 
good  family,  and  to  acquire  the  means  to  do  it.  In  these  aims 
he  has  been  successful.  Three  of  his  sous  are  lawyers,  two  of 
them  associated  with  himself  in  the  practice  of  law,  and  the 
third  at  Sioux  City,  all  eminent  citizens.  It  is  pleasant  and 
profitable  to  contemplate  such  a  life  as  Judge  Wright's — a 
self-made  man,  born  in  poverty — his  father  dying  when  he  was 
five  years  old,  his  mother  left  with  but  little  property,  and  that 
unproductive.  All  the  children,  as  soon  as  they  were  able,  had 
to  work  for  their  living.  His  distinguished  brother,  Governor- 
Joseph  A.  Wright,  was  glad  to  undertake  any  menial  work 
about  the  college,  or  elsewhere,  while  he  was  a  student,  but 
was  unable,  through  want  of  means,  to  complete  the  course 
of  study.  In  order  to  help  his  widowed  mother  and  the 
younger  members  of  the  family,  he  gave  up  for  a  time  the 
studies  in  which  he  delighted.  George,  the  subject  of  this 
sketch,  at  an  early  age  was  attacked  by  rheumatism,  which 
afflicted  him  severely  for  seven  years,  and  left  him  a  crip- 
ple for  life.  When  about  fourteen  years  old  he  first  went 
to  school,  having  been  taught  to  some  extent  by  his  mother 
and  brothers  at  home.  His  name  first  occurs  in  a  MS.  list 
of  the  students  in  the  winter  term  of  1834-5.  His  honesty, 
prudence  and  temperance  in  all  things,  writh  the  talents  God 
gave  him,  have  made  him  a  distinguished  citizen  of  his 
adopted  State.  Judge  Wright  is  a  member  of  the  Meth- 
odist Episcopal  Church,  and  heartily  thanks  the  Giver  of  all 
good  for  the  blessings  he  has  received,  and  for  the  care  of  a 
good  mother,  and  for  the  lessons  he  received  from  his  teachers, 
and  especially  from  the  President  of  the  University,  Dr.  A. 
Wylie.  Judge  Wright  married  Hannah  M.  Dibble,  October 
19,  1843.

two  terms.  In  1855  he  was  appointed  a  Trustee  of  Indiana

RICHARD  TAYLOR  ALLISON,  born  June  6,  1823,  in  Jefferson 
County,  Kentucky,  near  Louisville.  Educated  at  private 
schools,  principally  the  school  of  Mr.  Robert  B.  Smith.  De- 
grees received,  A.  B.  and  A.  M.,  and  the  degree  LL.  B.  from 
Transylvania  University.  Occupation :  After  leaving  the 
University  he  studied  law,  pursuing  the  study  with  much  in- 
terest, both  at  home  and  in  the  offices  of  attorneys  in  Louis- 
ville, and  at  the  Transylvania  University.  After  studying  the 
profession  he  commenced  the  practice  of  law  under  favorable 
auspices  in  Baltimore,  Maryland,  but,  his  health  failing,  he 
spent  the  winter  of  1848-49  in  the  West  Indies.  On  his  return 
to  Baltimore  he  was  appointed  by  his  uncle,  President  Taylor, 
Paymaster  in  the  United  States  Navy,  and  in  this  capacity 
served  in  the  Pacific  and  East  Indies,  in  China  and  Japan,  and 
notably  in  the  squadron  which,  under  Commodore  Perry,  con- 
stituted the  Japan  expedition,  which  opened  Japan  to  the

capacity  throughout  the  war.  After  the  war  was  over  he  re- 
turned to  Baltimore,  where  he  has  resided  ever  since,  filling 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  187 

different  positions ;  amongst  others  he  was  Clerk  of  the  Su- 
perior Court  of  Baltimore  City.  At  present  (1886)  he  is  rest- 
ing from  his  labors,  feeling  that  he  has  grown  rusty  in  law, 
and,  having  reached  the  grand  climacteric,  it  is  too  late  for 
him  to  study  anew  and  to  resume  the  practice  of  law.  Mr.  Al- 
lison says  of  himself  that  he  has  some  pleasant  hobbies  which 
he  rides  moderately ;  he  haunts  the  libraries  and  reads  a  good 
deal,  but  he  can  not  call  it  study.  He  ascribes  one  of  his  chief 
pleasures  and  resources  to  his  love  of  books  and  reading,  for 
which  he  is  indebted  in  a  great  degree  to  Indiana  University 
and  to  its  late  revered  President,  Dr.  Andrew  Wylie,  and  in  a 
lesser  degree^  to  the  Philomathean  Society.  Mr.  Allison  mar-

CHARLES  LESLIE  McKAY,  born  at  Appleton,  Wisconsin,  April 
21,  1855.  Died  near  Cape  Constantine,  Alaska,  April  19, 1883. 
Educated  at  Appleton  Collegiate  Institute,  Wisconsin.  Dr. 
David  S.  Jordan  was  his  teacher  while  at  this  Institution,  and 
finding  that  he  had  a  remarkable  talent  for  learning  and  a  taste 
similar  to  his  own,  he  took  a  peculiar  interest  in  him.  Under 
this  influence  young  McKay  decided  to  be  a  naturalist,  and,  as 
a  preparatory  step,  he  entered  the  Natural  History  Department 
of  Cornell  University.  After  spending  some  time  at  Cornell, 
he  became  a  pupil  of  his  friend,  Dr.  Jordan,  in  Butler  Univer- 
sity, and  afterward  in  the  University  of  Indiana,  in  1879,  where 
he  graduated  in  1881,  receiving  the  degree,  B.  S.  Before 
graduation  he  acted  as  assistant  to  Professor  Dudley,  of  Cor- 
nell, who  temporarily  occupied  the  place  of  Dr.  Jordan,  then 
in  California.  In  the  winter  of  1881,  he  was  for  a  short  time 
assistant  to  the  United  States  Fish  Commission.  In  the  spring 
of  the  same  year  he  received  the  appointment  as  Signal  Officer 
at  Nushagak  (Fort  Alexander),  on  Bristol  Bay,  Alaska.  He 
graduated  with  the  Class  of  '81,  receiving  from  the  Faculty  the 
distinction  of  "  Graduated  With  Honor."  Mr.  McKay  made 
ichthyology  an  especial  study.  He  had,  before  leaving  for 
Alaska,  nearly  ready  for  publication  a  monograph  of  the  fresh- 
water sunfishes.  An  outline  of  this  work  was  published  in  the 
proceedings  of  the  United  States  National  Museum  for  1881, 
with  descriptions  of  three  new  species,  which  he  had  discovered. 
Mr.  McKay  left  for  San  Francisco  in  June,  1881,  and  proceeded 
directly  to  Alaska,  where  he  remained  at  Nushagak,  with  but  a 
single  white  companion  till  his  death  in  1883.  The  National 
Museum  has  received  from  him  large  collections  of  birds,  fishes, 
plants,  minerals,  skins  and  skeletons  of  mammals  and  Indian 
relics.  On  the  17th  of  April,  1883,  Mr.  Clark,  the  agent  of  the 
Alaska  Commercial  Company,  at  Nushagak,  Mr.  McKay's  only 
white  associate  during  his  two  years  in  Alaska,  communicated 
the  sad  news  to  his  father,  Mr.  Hector  McKay.  He  informed 
his  father  that  he  left  in  company  with  a  native,  each  of  them 
in  a  single  canoe.  They  passed  the  night  at  -an  Indian  village, 
sixteen  miles  from  the  station.  The  next  day  being  stormy, 
they  lay  over  in  the  village.  On  the  morning  of  the  19th,  as 


288  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

it  was  calm,  they  left  the  village  to  cross  over  the  bay,  a  dis- 
tance of  twelve  miles.  When  about  two-thirds  of  the  way 
across,  a  strong  wind  sprang  up.  Mr.  McKay,  in  his  canoe, 
was  left  behind,  and  was  never  seen  again.  Search  was  made, 
broken  pieces  of  the  canoe  were  found,  his  gun  and  rubber 
boots  and  other  articles  were  picked  up  on  the  beach,  about  a 
mile  from  the  village  they  had  left  in  the  morning.  Thus,  in 
the  prime  of  life  this  young  and  enthusiastic  naturalist  was 
suddenly  cut  off.  The  above  account  is  taken  and  abbreviated 
from  a  notice  of  Mr.  McKay  by  President  David  S.  Jordan, 
published  in  the  Indiana  Student,  November,  1883,  p.  2.

LIST  OF  STUDENTS,  ETC. 


When  the  State  is  not  given,  Indiana  is  understood.  Se.  or  Sen. stands  for  Senior;  Ju. 
for  Junior ;  So.  for  Sophomore  ;  Fr.  for  Freshman  :  Pr.  for  Preparatory ;  Irr.,  Irregular, 
and  Sel.,  Select,  mean  the  same— those  students  who  were  not  in  the  regular  classes,  and 
took  select  studies.  This  list  of  those  who  attended,  but  are  not  graduates  of  Indiana  Uni- 
versity, is  taken  from  a  nearly  complete  file  of  the  annual  catalogues  of  the  University.  In 
the  "First  Co'lege  Catalogue,"  printed  entire  (see  p.  378)  graduates  and  non-graduates  are

A  LIST  OF  THE  BOARD  OF  TRUSTEES,  FROM 

1820  TO  1890,  PRECEDED  BY  A  SKETCH 

OF    DR.    DAVID    H.    MAXWELL, 

FIRST    PRESIDENT    OF 

THE  BOARD. 


With  regard  to  the  foundation  of  Indiana  University  in  its 
present  locality,  its  survival  during  its  infancy  while  a  seminary 
and  its  successful  opposition  to  many  adverse  influences  during 
his  lifetime,  there  is  no  one  to  whom  more  credit  is  due  than 
to  David  H.  Maxwell  as  a  legislator  and  as  a  trustee.  For 
these  reasons  he  is  worthy  of  more  than  a  passing  notice. 

Dr.  Maxwell  was  horn  near  Lancaster,  Garrard  County,  Ky., 
September  17,  1786.  His  parents  were  from  Virginia  and  his 
grandparents  from  County  Londonderry,  in  the  north  of  Ire- 
land. They  were  Scotch-Irish  Presbyterians,  and  emigrated  at 
a  very  early  date  to  the  colony  of  Virginia.  Dr.  Maxwell's 
early  training  was  under  that  rigid  discipline  characteristic 
of  the  Scotch-Irish,  a  discipline  from  which  he  did  not  de- 
part when  training  his  own  family.  His  early  education 
was  at  home,  and  such  as  the  neighboring  schools  afforded. 
When  about  eighteen  years  old,  in  order  to  avail  himself  of 
better  advantages,  he  went  to  school  in  Danville,  Ky.,  where 
he  became  well  versed  in  mathematics,  as  they  were  taught  in 
that  day,  and  was  an  excellent,  well-read  English,  though  not- 
classical,  scholar.  He  studied  medicine  with  Dr.  Ephraim 
McDowell,  a  distinguished  physician  and  surgeon  of  Danville. 
Having  completed  his  professional  studies,  he  married  Miss 
Mary  E.  Dunn,  of  Danville,  in  1809.  Soon  after  this  he  moved 
to  Jefferson  County,  Ind.,  where  Hanover  now  stands.  Here 
he  practiced  medicine  till  1812.  In  this  year  he  joined  a  volun- 
teer company  of  rangers  under  Captain  Williamson  Dunn,  and 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  465 

served  for  about  a  year  in  keeping  back  the  Indians  from  their 
incursions  on  the  white  settlements.  Soon  after  this  he  moved 
to  Madison  and  practiced  medicine  there.  While  there  he  was 
elected  a  delegate  to  the  first  constitutional  convention,  held  at 
Corydon  in  1816.  In  this  year  President  Madison  designated 
Perry  Township  in  Monroe  County,  as  the  additional  township 
to  which  Indiana  was  entitled  for  educational  purposes  on  be- 
coming a  State.  From  this  time  Dr.  Maxwell's  attention  was 
directed  to  Monroe  County,  and  having  bought  a  lot  at  the  first 
sale  in  Bloomiiigton  in  1818,  he,  with  his  family  moved  to  this 
place,  arriving  here  May  10,  1819. 

Dr.  Maxwell  appreciated  more  than  most  of  the  early  set- 
tlers the  advantages  of  an  education  higher  than  that  of  the 
country  schools,  and  also  anticipated  the  educational  possibili- 
ties at  Bloomington.  He  chose  this  place  as  his  home,  and  ever 
since,  to  the  end  of  his  life,  in  his  character  as  a  private  citizen, 
as  a  representative  and  senator,  as  an  excellent  writer,  as  a  man 
of  sound  judgment,  and  for  many  years  as  President  of  the 
Board  of  Trustees,  he  was  indefatigable  in  his  labors  for  the  in- 
terest of  the  University. 

Dr.  Maxwell,  presuming  somewhat,  perhaps,  upon  his  ac- 
quaintance with  many  of  the  old  members  of  the  constitutional 
convention,  of  which  he  himself  had  been  a  member,  went  to 
Corydon  to  use  his  influence  as  a  lobbyist,  and  to  procure,  if 
possible,  the  location  of  the  State  Seminary  at  Bloomington. 
The  result  was  favorable,  and  on  the  20th  day  of  January,  1820, 
an  act  was  passed  establishing  the  Seminary  at  this  point  on 
the  Seminary  township.  Dr.  Maxwell  was  then  appointed  one 
of  its  Trustees,  and  soon  after  the  organization  was  elected 
President  of  the  Board.  This  position  he  continued  to  hold 
with  but  little  intermission,  till  the  establishment  of  Indiana 
College,  January  24,  1828.  He  was  President  of  the  College 
Board  from  1828  to  1840,  with  the  exception  of  one  year.  Dur- 
ing this  year,  1838,  he  was  a  member  of  the  Legislature,  a  rep- 
resentative from  Monroe  County.  In  1840  the  Board  consisted 
of  twenty-two  members,  too  large  for  the  dispatch  of  busi- 
ness, and  on  the  passage  of  the  act  February  15,  1841,  charter- 
ing the  University,  the  number  of  the  members  of  the  Board 
was  cut  down  to  nine.  Of  this  Board  Dr.  Maxwell  was  chosen 
President,  which  office  he  held  continuously  till  his  resignation 
in  1851. 


466  HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY. 

During  the  Seminary  period  of  the  Institution  it  may,  in 
truth,  be  said  that  Doctor  Maxwell  was  not  only  the  presiding 
officer,  but  also  its  executive  officer  and  corresponding  secre- 
tary. 

The  erection  of  the  new  building  was  in  a  great  measure 
under  his  supervision.  By  him  all  accounts  and  orders  for 
money  were  allowed.  Besides  all  this  there  were  other  minor 
duties  which  took  up  much  of  his  time.  Not  the  least  among 
these  was  a  large  correspondence  with  prominent  men  in  differ- 
ent parts  of  the  state,  to  interest  them  in  behalf  of  the  new 
Institution  of  learning.  Many  of  these  subsequently  were 
members  of  the  Board.  He  worked  not  only  among  a  dis- 
affected element  at  home,  to  popularize  the  Institution,  but 
sought  favorable  consideration  from  the  Legislature.  To  this 
end  he  asked  his  constituents  to  send  him  to  the  Legislature, 
and  was  elected  a  representative  in  the  House  for  four  consecu- 
tive years,  namely,  the  years  1821,  1822,  1823  and  1824.  In  one 
of  these  years  he  was  chosen  speaker.  During  this  time  many 
important  matters  touching  the  interest  of  the  seminary  came 
up,  more  especially  as  to  its  prospective  financial  capability. 

In  the  years  1825-26  he  was  elected  as  senator  from  the  dis- 
trict composed  of  the  counties  of  Monroe,  Owen  and  Greene, 
and  was  still  ever  watchful  as  to  the  legislation  affecting  the 
seminary.  It  was  during  his  senatorial  term,  in  1826,  that  the 
question  as  to  what  disposition  should  be  made  of  the  semi- 
nary land  in  Gibson  and  Monroe  counties  came  up.  It  was  the 
question  of  the  canvass  for  that  year  before  the  people  of  Mon- 
roe County,  for  they  were  personally  interested.  Much  of  the 
desirable  and  very  excellent  land  in  Perry  township  had  been 
leased  for  a  term  of  years,  according  to  the  law,  and  of  course 
the  lease-holders,  men  of  little  means  generally,  were  anxious 
to  hold  on,  while  others  of  more  means  were  anxious  to  be 
owners  in  fee  simple.  The  Doctor  advocated  the  idea  of  actual 
sale  to  bona  fide  settlers.  His  opponent,  Craven  P.  Hester,  was 
in  favor  of  leasing  for  ninety-nine  years,  as  had  been  the  pol- 
icy of  Ohio  with  her  seminary  townships.  The  Doctor  was 
elected,  and  the  policy  which  he  had  advocated  before  the  peo- 
ple was  that  adopted  by  the  Legislature,  with  reference  to  sem- 
inary townships  both  in  Monroe  and  Gibson  counties.  While 
it  may  be  true  that  the  lands  were  put  upon  the  market  too 
soon,  and  at  too  low  a  valuation,  yet  as  compared  with  the  re- 


HISTORY    OF    INDIANA    UNIVERSITY.  467 

suit  in  Ohio  it  was  a  success.  Other  instances  might  be  given 
of  Dr.  Maxwell's  prudence  and  management.  During  nearly 
all  the  time  of  his  connection  with  the  hoard  he  was  its  presi- 
dent. He  was  liberal  and  judicious  in  his  views  and  zealous 
and  fearless  in  his  advocacy  of  what  he  regarded  as  the  best 
interests  of  the  University.  In  1851  he  resigned,  and  with  full 
faith  and  trust  in  the  religion  of  his  fathers,  he  died,  May  24, 
1854.
